I left USA for Europe to study gardens once horticulture degree was firmly in hand. Was taught how to be a guy with a truck mow-blow-go. Worse, they taught how to landscape design from the street looking at the house. Europe was a grand teacher. Will never forget the first time I saw gravel to the house foundation. GOT IT. Love moments of epiphany.
