Whence Creativity?

Curves of nature. Spit of rock, below, in the stream. A lovely marquis shape to plant hosta along a path in your woodland. Perhaps the far shore is Azalea 'George Tabor' & the marquis shape a drift of helleborus. Understory trees planted where 2 or 3 of the larger stones arise from the stream.
Distributions of ironweed, Joe Pye weed, and more, in the Kentucky field, above, another template. Perhaps for a perennial border or a mixed border.

I adore reading nature at its purest for copying into Landscape Design.

Gardens that mimic nature are the most relaxing and beautiful.

Mother Nature is the master!
We all copy from her.

Envying the dream-come-true story; love your appreciation of it and the expression of your curiosity: "know the life swirling while the wall was being built."

Lovely post.
