Designing a garden, now, with horrid views thru a pair of formal dining room windows. Horrid.
.
Pool pumps, rickety/collapsing/rotted potting table, spent/broken pots, stacked plastic bags potting soil, you have the vision.
.
Luckily pool pumps are backed by another wall of the home, clad in lapboard. Easy fix. Carpenter will fence pool pumps, to proper height, in matching lapboard, each section removable for maintenance. Have ridden this bull at rodeo before.
.
Remaining disasters easy fix too. The pair of windows are several feet apart on the same wall. Carpenter will make custom potting table running full length of window-wall-window. At each window, clustered, a collection of topiaries in her well chosen lead color pots.
.
A flock of topiaries, plenty to swap inside her dining room, yet have rich amount for outside views too, on that new potting table. This is Vanishing Threshold. Notice, Garden Design goes inside. More than the topiary arena, but that's beyond the scope of this missive.

Garden Design begins inside your home, below. Views to the garden, everything.

Just wow, below. Curtains take on a new meaning in this home. Candle & vase of foliage pure homage to the work of Providence.

How could I let my client look at pool pumps and a broken potting table? Not in my realm.

Another new layer for her Garden Design. Replacing a wall of windows with this door, above.

She's also getting her Conservatory this layer.

Muse surprised me, above. Client is also getting the open portion of this structure; client's scaled a bit longer. It's on axis with the opposite end of her garden.
This is phase 2, with my client. Mentioned new clients to her, and their husband's mostly worried about the 'Garden Designer' spending money on flowers. Her best laugh of the appointment.

Garden & Be Well, XO T
