Design: Making Clients Cry

After a soiree we discuss how guests have experienced her garden of acreage from arrival/departure.

.

How the sexes, ages, income levels interact with the garden.

.

Some cross the threshold of the garden, others look say a few words, some say/see nothing. 

.

What branch of psychology is this?

.

Me?  I must know how people experience my gardens, not just how my clients perceive their garden.

.

Stay with me, it's going somewhere. 

Tears.  What makes someone cry in a garden?  Unbidden.  How does a garden guest arrive with their cocoon-of-life yet leave knowing their decades long construct is rendered too little?  In fact, gone.
  

.

I've had crying guests in my garden for decades.  At my garden lectures across the country, crying attendees, for decades, too.

.

Have been in my friend Susanne Hudson's garden when someone burst into tears.

.

Stories follow all the tears.  Words, incoherent, powerful.  And understood.

.

So.  At the garden, above, we were talking about her last soiree.  A guest, a man, financially successful, no longer young, in tears.  

.
He awakened to how a garden is woven into DNA, and home.  One of the few who could verbalize, during epiphany, 'I will have this.'
