Is topiary coming back into fashion? As I drive through Herzliya, I notice the most wonderful plant art.
At the roundabout leading into the city there are two green peacocks with their plumes filled with gaily colored pansies.
It is an astonishing sight, and the road leading to the train station displays a number of interesting pieces, the most eye-catching being two people riding bicycles: the bikes are real, but the people sitting on them are carved out of plants. I find it fascinating. It is a mark of the developing affluence of the local cities that there is money not only for infrastructure development, but also for creating a beautiful environment.
I know we all hate to pay city taxes, but tell me - isn't this nice?
