Re: Ball gardens....designs

Oh how very true.  After all, one (interior or exterior designer)  has to 
create a well balanced,  asthetic, functional design around the  needs and tastes 
of the client.  This is what makes it so interesting,  challenging, and 
unique.  No two designs are ever alike.  Most people  know exactly what they need 
and want, but have no clue how to put it all  together.  The worst case 
scenario is when the client has no clue what they  want, or when the couple has 
totally opposite tastes, but you can tell they are  very particular about things.  
Usually the interview process is much more  intensive then, and the design a 
bigger challenge.   
 
I never show my gardens to potential clients, LOL.  I might  show pictures of 
plants, or such, but I think I'd be out of business  otherwise.  Front is not 
bad, mostly texas natives, and has to meet deed  restrictions...... but the 
back....oh my!!!   It's either too  much water, too many plants, too natural 
looking, or something for most.   Only people that arent' overwhelmed and enjoy 
it are nature lovers,  or fellow plant addicts.  Would not be so bad, but I 
have to take into  consideration, that the back yard is not just for us, but has 
to share with  multiple animals....that alone is a challenge.
 
Plus...as a friend says...the cobblers children have no shoes.

Noreen,  as a professional, you're more likely to make note of  such
distinctions.  But just as I'm not fond of the choices of a  particular
interior designer though that person may be well educated and  "trendy", I
may not like a particular garden design, no matter how experty  performed.
We all have different tastes.
