It'd be great if every project I was asked to tackle were about the complete environment - not only the planting plan, but also the watershapes, artworks, amenities and everything else a client might desire. That doesn't happen often enough, probably because my portfolio is much richer in planting plans than it is in watershapes. But from time to time I find clients who have faith in me and my abilities as a designer and give me total control. Late last year, I was fortunate enough to come across one such project. I had originally been brought in to design only the planting, but through various circumstances and discussions with the clients, I was able to instill enough confidence in them that they placed me in charge of designing the entire project, which included a pool/spa combination, artwork and various amenities beyond the gardens.
