<< Then there's the big picture: design. Some people might argue that design
is an exercise of control over nature, and they'd rather do as little of
that as possible. But no matter how much or how little you design, isn't it
more like playing with nature than controlling it? And I mean playing WITH
in the sense of cooperating, because if you don't, you lose. Seems to me
that when a gardener creates a happy riot of species and colours, that's
design. Same thing goes for those who believe in using only natives, or
those whose vision is captured in terms like cottage garden, or tropical
garden, or formal garden. Those of us who obsess a bit about colour
schemes, textures, and structural bones are only playing the game in our
own way.

WOW!! what a concept and my feelings exactly!!! we may be just experimenting
but what we are really doing is ASKING NATURE to show us what we can an cannot
do. I love to try EVERYTHING the more REMOTE the more I like it and if i get
a success i LOVE it all the more!!! isn;'t that what gardening is all about?
