I was putting some seeds into envelopes today to send off as swaps with members here and once again it struck me how many folk have garden-related words in their addresses. I don't want to give anything away but addresses over the last few months have included included the words heather, aspen, pines, cedars, cherry, hedgerow, hill, heath, park and wood to name just a few. And I have 'Acacia' in my address. ;D

So if I visited a site for bookworms for instance, and perhaps they swapped paperbacks, do you think they'd all have suitable addresses too? ;)

Hmmm.... I have a 'field' in my street name. :) Spooky!
Alas, none of the artists I know have arty addresses.

My house name is very rural and I had 'wood' in my maiden name

My last three addresses have had wood, wood and park in them and in Germany I lived in Holzhausenstrasse - Holz being wood as well. Yes, weird :).

Where I live all the roads are named after trees, but as it's a 'garden suburb' that was no great leap of the imagination :-\

There are a few "allotment" lanes but they usually go back to Parliamentary enclosures... in Northern cities a "Peartree" area is quite common... they were fashionable to plant in the later 18thCentury and on their own roots made huge trees which stood out above the victorian terrace sprawl. Derby also has a dairyhouse road from when cattle were stalled inside cities to provide milk...

Well try this....my surname before I remarried had 'Garden' in it with slightly different spelling but that was how it was pronounced and then I used to live in 'Gardener's Walk' now my street is another plant related name ending in 'Gardens'. When i was a child my parents had a farm called 'Rosehill', they later moved to a Woodville Street. My middle name is a plant. I also lived in a small place called something Forest. I think I've covered them all. No vegetables though.
How about a Parsley Place, Avocado Avenue, Cabbage Crescent, Lettuce Lane.

When our local school (Infants) was the village school it was on cabbage square, since changed to a more prosaic Browning Street.
;D

No plants in my address - street name is a castle in Kent but my Mum's maiden names were Plant and Webb so two garden references there. My paternal grandmother's name was Woodcock so bird of the fields there.
