Good choice indeed. I watched Rachel’s videos and was very impressed by the quality of the presentation and the work she did. It could well have been a slick TV program with a huge production team behind it and featuring a star designer. Diarmuid Gavin, watch out.

Well Jenny what can I say to that write up! Thank you so much! I’m being very English and slightly blushing (not used to receiving American Style praise!).

The thing with any blog is it’s the people that come by and visit that makes it work as much as what you write about. I’m fairly new to blogging and wasn’t sure what to expect. I’ve been totally taken aback by how supportive a community it is.

I’m a great believer in designers inspiring one another so I’m really looking forward to seeing who you have lined up for future months. You’ve hit on a great way of introducing us all to people we may not have come across.

So thanks again!

I am taking Rachel’s garden design class for beginners and I think it is really well done. Good choice for Gardener of the Month!

Rachel is one of my favorite gardeners, too. In fact she was just featured in my “Bloggers to Watch Out For” list. I love her way of making garden design accessible to anyone who wants to improve their garden design. This is a great feature. Thanks for sharing it.
