New client yesterday, and she's quite a challenge. Children, grandchildren, she & her husband own their own business, and they have 3 homes, plus lots of travel. Aside from mow-blow-go she has little to no garden help, unless it's the Gator. And, she wants a delightful garden 'show' on her deck at the main home. The deck is raised allowing for drip irrigation. Thankfully.
.
Florist Style for her deck. Galvanized florist canisters for cut flowers, & plastic pots of flowering plants bought at the grocery store or a nursery, slipped into canisters too. The story grows better, she loves ornamental grasses, I'll design a large prairie style grass garden for her to enjoy, and to have plenty for cutting.

Her deck is large, and can handle several large evergreens, below. Once they become 'tired' they can be retired to planting in her newly designed/designated cutting garden.

Very little, below, yet confidently setting a 'tone'. Exactly the top merit of Florist Style Garden Design.

Before our appointment I was at another appointment, with her sister. Sister mentioned a place with an international supply of construction pieces from historic homes. She showed me a few pics of the shop & I got the name & wrote it down. Perhaps my new client can find a piece like this, above, for her Florist Style.

New client mentioned a grown son and their gardening relationship since he was a boy, I'm sure she'll send him this post, for perusal and approval. Too fun.
