Name Your Garden Rooms

Went to a new client's home yesterday.  They are moving to Georgia from Texas to be closer to children and grandchildren.

.

We talked of many things walking their wet Georgia red clay grounds.

.

Realized, last night, we did not discuss naming the different areas of their garden.

.

And it 'needs' names.  Their front porch is large & perfect for truly using, and they have a covered, screened porch at the back.

. 

Veranda, Porch.  Done.

.

A large side yard will be the Upper Allee  & Lower Allee.

.

Two bluestone patios will be on site.   Courtyard.  Terrace.  Done.

They want a magical zone for their grandchildren.  Potager.  Wildwood.  Orchard.  Done.
.
She likes curves and does want some turf.  Oval Lawn.  Done.
.
Their driveway will have a strip of groundcover in the middle, of most of it.  Drive Trail.  Done.
.
An extra area of drive will be poured for easier turnarounds.  Parking Court.  Done.
.
Once the house is complete I will post interior pics.  They have put decades of wisdom into their floor plan.

Construction by Award Winning

Shaefer Heard Construction, licensed home-builder, renovation - new construction.  Heard's Landscaping a unit of SHC.  3 decades of service.

NOTE to my gardening friends... look for changes to come. 

Knew before computers/cell phones, sitting in Atlanta traffic on way to a client, 'I must reach a larger audience with the same amount of effort.'   Soon after that epiphany I signed my CBS-TV, and, books contracts on the same day.

.

Then I read an article in the NYTimes about something called 'blogging'.  Saved the article for a year before reading it.  Studied all the blogs they mentioned, hired a computer expert they quoted, and attended a blogging seminar.

.

Blogging 2.0 has arrived, my knowledge is 1.0.  A believer in copying the best historic gardens across the globe it flows into every arena of life.  Watching Maria Killam grow her career/blog/life over the past 3 years made its impact.  Signed up  for a year's course with her blogging expert, Jon Morrow. 

.

Changes will be slow, plodding is my adored method.  Pulling triggers here/there is spice in the mix.
.

What do YOU want?

.

Nothing is too small, too big, or too ego crushing to mention.

.

Passion lies in sharing what has filled me to the depths of grace, joy & atonement, the best landscapes created over the last 2,000+ years.

Just so you know... 
 I  welcome your input.
