Mature gardens become collections over time. Pots, plants, benches, impulse buys, inherited pieces, and at some point, that collection either feels magical or it just feels muddled. In this episode, I walk through how I use design parameters to guide every garden I design, why limitations actually make gardens better, and how they can reduce decision fatigue.

In this episode, I cover:

  • How strong design parameters help you move between gardens, make faster decisions, and avoid creative fatigue
  • Why mature gardens can often feel muddled instead of magical, and how design parameters fix that
  • The difference between a collector's mindset and a curator's mindset when building a garden
  • What immersive experiences like Meow Wolf and Disneyland can teach us about garden design, storytelling, and creating intentional spaces
  • Real examples from my award-winning Northwest Flower and Garden Show gardens, and how completely different parameters created two totally distinct spaces
  • Why limitations, when developed ahead of time, contribute to stronger and more well-defined gardens
