The Natural World




Landscape Designers and Garden Designers are interpreting client's desires and needs and imprinting them on (mostly) postage stamp size lots. I giggled to myself when I imagined a client going into their garden and finding a juvenile Bard Owl.


Most clients are afraid of nature, afraid of fungus, afraid of insects, afraid of mold, moss and maggots. I have evolved to enjoy more of my weekend time in natural places. I am curious to see how this affects my design practice. I see a transition to calm, muted, and hidden details, to be enjoyed by contemplative and quiet observers.
