There is a definite trend in Mdantsane lately, that has spread across all sections (m not only NU 7). Trees are cut and trimmed " à la Versailles".
The French formal garden, also called jardin à la française,
is a style of garden based on symmetry and the principle of imposing
order over nature. It reached its apogee in the 17th century with the
creation of the Gardens of Versailles, designed for Louis XIV by the landscape architect André Le Nôtre. The style was widely copied by other courts of Europe
While many courts in Europe copied this style some Mdantsane landscapers and gardeners have instead added their personal touch to the Versailles style.
Others have already achieved perfection with their creations!
And order is without doubt imposed over nature!
And a a few need still a little bit of practice!
