Vanishing Threshold: Get Yours

With Garden Design do you know the most important Demarcation Points?

.
With the Demarcation Points, above, I'm rolling in wet sand as the waves roll up.
.
(A child of Cape Canaveral & Galveston you understand my happy metaphor.)
.
The Romans, bce, never built a home without a vanishing threshold.
.
Amazing, a horticulture degree obtained, decades of seminars attended, libraries of books read, and not 1 source referenced vanishing threshold.
.
Then my epiphany, in Italy of course.
.
House & garden are 'one'.
.
You see it here, above.
.
From the garden, above, you see vanishing threshold looking into the window.
.
Nicky Haslam always knew about vanishing threshold.  Study his book, Folly de Grandeur.  
.
Next?
.
Create yours.  A lifetime of joy, and grace, melding the strength of your intellect against this desirable challenge awaits.
.
Biggest irony of vanishing threshold?  Increases property value, reduces HVAC, and maximizes pollinator habit up to 80%.  Needs no irrigation, fertilizers or chemicals.  While cutting in half the amount of maintenance. 
.
Beginning to understand the lack of education about vanishing threshold?
.
As garden centers & mow-blow-go companies are structured, now, not much money to be made.
.
Those companies are dependent upon your turf needing chemicals/fertilizers/irrigation/maintenance.
.
And etc. etc. etc. as Yul Brynner said so well.
