Katrine Benninger Landscape Design
the garden
of time
the poetry of seasons
gardens take time
dedication and patience
gardens change
with the seasons, the years, the climate, the users
gardens evolve
plants mature, microclimates change, new needs arise
gardens are forever dynamic
places of discovery, timelessness and memories
sanctuaries, oases, dry lands or wild meadows,
gardens of bounty or simplicity
the gifts of time predate us; life comes from soil and water
when creating gardens, they need to be meaningful
choosing nature's resources carefully, conserving water (rain water harvesting, grey water systems) and maintaining healthy soils
we may not know what the future holds, but we can strive to make wise decisions
