The Best Design Adds Depth to Walls


Homes in subdivisions, at all price points & eras, commonly lack 'depth' with exterior walls.
.
Another garden design fact/rule learned studying the best historic gardens across the globe for decades.
.
A few examples from my Pinterest Board, Focal Points.








Garden Design: Adding Depth to Your Walls, should be my next book title.
.
Never a dull moment designing your garden.  Layers of beauty, and epiphany.

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.

I let Virginia Creeper grow all over the back side of my house this year and it transformed a ugly wall where an old door had been filled in with brick and not done very well I might say. Now you can't see that ugly mistake. It's just a wall of green and a perfect backdrop for the patio. Yes,...a whole book on this please!
