I always thought English gardens were those highly landscaped, trimmed, coiffed, unnaturally shaped ones, you know with the pointy conical bushes and trees, and angular mazes/labyrinths, etc.
Now I'm not English but I'm pretty sure the wild looking gardens are called English gardens. I know these gardens you've described and they very well could be English too (I really don't know), but they aren't called an English garden. I don't know what these gardens are called.
harry - good point about the over 50 group not being as internet savy.Front yards are a compete waste in North America. No one sits in them, parks on them, grows gardens in them--they are a time consuming, make-work project. (well in my opinion)
