Can garden designers meet the need for popular, low budget garden design

摘要

Many garden owners would benefit from the input of a qualified garden designer to bring an ordered perspective to their plots, but few can afford such professional advice. Can and should garden designers open up their client base to incorporate the mass market? I cannot abide a design snob Design should be the most honest of trades and those who do not practise honestly, substituting it with insincerity or the froth of fashion are simply not worth the paper they draw on Good design is simple and to the point,- if you understand the skills there is no need to load the profit. Of course I undertake work from well-heeled clients who want the best in terms of concept, materials and construction. However, there is a far broader section of society that has been exposed to such influences as Habitat and Ikea, not to mention the plethora of television output. Such people genuinely aspire to what is broadly perceived as good or at least accessible and realistically priced design.
