sculpture

The landscape as sculpture.
That seems to be the end goal within any plan we've completed.
Even with the simplest design in effect it's always the grade of the land that rules the end result-
accounting for drainage, water ways and proper guidance of all. Lots of digging and shifting about.

But, I also LOVE the idea of sculpting, burming, and shifting earth as a work of art to be oogled and gazed upon, or to interact with --run or slip up and down, spiral around upon, or be snuggly benched within.

Here are some photos I like found in Natural Garden Style (Noel Kengsbury)~
