Garden of Quiet Listening, Carleton College, MN.

My passion is to create landscape gardens that evoke the beauty of the natural world, in ways that are responsive to the site, the client, and locally available materials. I call these three sources of information and inspiration the Accord Triangle. –David Slawson.

I haven’t had a Sunday stone day in awhile and thought it would be great to post this as an opposite to the starkness , and lifelessness of the previous post-well put Patrick.

I have been fortunate enough to have David teach at one of the WCI Design Forums, and hope to have that fortune again. David’s book Secret Teachings in the Art of Japanese Gardens, is (my opinion) the best book on this style of Garden Design. If you even slightly consider adding elements of this style, or a devoted space this is the book.
