The downside is that soon everything will be too crowded. <br /><br />It will be interesting to see how these spaces develop. I hope to visit in the spring and then again next fall. That should be interesting.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-79838524148453978102014-10-11T13:52:19.644-07:002014-10-11T13:52:19.644-07:00Garden design--like any art form--is so subjective...Garden design--like any art form--is so subjective.

That one looks like it will develop the best. Most seem to be trying too hard. <br /><br />The bench made of flagstones is cool.
