If they aren't mission statement people I ask for 2 sentences describing their completed landscape. And I have to go into the house to see the important axis for creating a vanishing threshold and decorating style. My favorite clients are the one's who have already tried to garden themselves. THEY UNDERSTAND. If gardening were easy all gardens would be fabulous. Love the part about drunk clients. Yes, I have those stories too! But, I want to keep working.......too. Won't divulge.

Love the part about drunk clients. Yes, I have those stories too! But, I want to keep working…….too. Won’t divulge.
