When I ventured into a business designing and executing landscaped gardens I had no clue how to go about it. Gardening was my hobby and I had a bit of creativity in me. Equipped with that I accepted an order for designing and executing a landscaped garden for a builder who had a huge area where I had to work on my concept. It was a package deal. I quoted a an amount and he readily gave me an advance. My niece joined me as a partner who did not know the difference between a leaf and a flower. But I wanted someone to be there.

Those days there were no courses for landscape architecture. And I was no draftsman to produce a professional design. But happily what I drew on a graph paper was accepted by my client.

I was happy with the results and so was my client which resulted in my getting more orders.

This concept has a play area for kids with swings and such items, a badminton court, lawns, shade trees, a patch for seasonal flowers, garden lights, a rockery, arches for creepers, a water fountain and several potted plants placed all over. The entire area is paved.

It sounds so amazing to me, and since you already enjoy what you are doing, it must be very rewarding to see everything comes together. You must be proud of your design :)
