Several hundred acres, several barns, several thousand bulbs to plant.
.
Constraint? Bulbs must look like they've been on property for a century.
.
What to do?
.
Toss out every known morsel of garden design since 1960. (Easy, been there/done that.)
.
Plant in blowzy DRIFTS.
Drifts must be organic tear drops. Stubby or elongated + versions in between.
From inside the barn, below, to the house.
Did you know this about Garden Design? If you create beauty in one direction, it's beautiful in its opposite.
.
Notice the foot path, above?
.
How few know a foot path through meadow is one of life's ultimate status symbols.
