Why Boring-is-Good is Your Best Design

"Build your own prison", he said at the start.

3 years later, pieces of the start have already been undone.

She laughed then too, remembering his words.

Boring is Good

I design gardens for a living, he of build-your-own-prison, installs gardens commercial/residential, for a living.

.

We have 60+ years in our livelihoods.

.

Take our words at the front end.

.

If you don't, the epitaph is not propitious.

.

Worse than money lost, you will have frittered time.

. 

Money can be earned.

.

No one can earn time.

.

Build your own prison.  Boring is good.

Boring is good, but includes intellect, wit, function, delight to the eye in every season, attractiveness to pollinators, easy to maintain, raises property value, lowers HVAC, & etc....

This client now sees into the soul of person as they walk/talk with her in her garden.  What they see, or don't see, and spontaneously respond/react to informs reams about their heart.
