Re: Easy Garden Simulations - Win A Free Design Book!

Your writing style is so easy to read, I read about how you did your presentations even though I already do this. Great minds think alike. I have found PowerPoint, not to mention Google images, very useful in creating presentations for clients. You can even insert pictures of hardscape, furniture and art pieces along with the pictures of plants to show the complete look.
I am sure this will be a big help to many and, like you said, can give some of those that don't watch football (I can't imagine that) something to do as well. It should keep them copying and pasting all winter long.
Thanks Billy.

Re: Win a copy of Designer Plant Combinations!

Thanks Billy for the great suggestion. I am so vindicated to hear someone else has noticed the gaudy kaleidoscope of plants used on some shows (and by some landscape companies here in GA). It seems to be a popular practice to just use as many colored and variegated plants as possible without thought to theme or an overall design palette. Simple is beautiful. I look forward to seeing more.
