This is exactly what I have been searching for. Thank you, sir. I think I can take what you taught today and plan something beautiful. I have been trying to hard. Thank you.
Roy, thank you so much for the great insight to your thought process when designing!! I especially like the part with the "choppy"-ness. My plantings are all far too choppy (400 square meters on sandy rubbly soil near the center of Berlin) as there are so many great plants and I really want to grow them and to get to know them more intimately! But each year or so, I get braver and throw out a few species, so I can also stretch my patterns!
Thanks Roy. In your videos for large installations, you often show sweeping rounded intersecting swaths of plants. How do these rectangular grids relate to when you’re designing the larger installations? Or do they?
Thank you for your question....these design sessions are about two things primarily....showing those with smaller garden spaces how they can design to fit their gardens and to educate all gardeners on how different plants relate to each other given their individual characteristics. So while a small 5x5 design may not necessarily relate to larger projects, the knowledge of how plants relate to one another and coexist is essential for a successful planting. thanks for watching!

Thanks! Came here to find this...
Thanks for the planting examples and tips.
Which graph paper size and brand do you prefer?
Thanks for sharing. How many design projects to you get to complete in a year while still running the farm?
thanks for watching! Depends on many things and they range from big to small so hard to say a number.
Would you recommend Sporobolus heterolepis on 12 inch centers? I was planning for 18 inch, but appreciate your wisdom.
You can do either but 12 inch centers would leave less room for weed opportunity.
