Fine Gardening vs. Conventional Landscaping
Conventional landscaping is reactive rather than proactive. A handful of common shrubs getting cared for out of necessity rather than pleasure. Same boring thing year after year. The landscape remains status quo -
still uninspiring. Many homeowners do not know what to plant, or how to care for things beyond the basic landscape. No thought is given to the changing seasons, so landscaping is performed almost robotically.
Trim the shrubs mechanically, mow the lawn, mulch the beds, remove the leaves - the same thing that can be done on just any property by someone with minimal experience, almost on autopilot. Tasks designed to keep
nature at bay and keep our properties maintained, but it's boring. They just remain the same uninspiring, boring landscape year after year.
Fine Gardening is proactive, evolving with the seasons. Itis comprised of dynamic, changing environments in which the existing elements create an Artscape. A blending together of natural and man-made elements that respond to the environment and the natural process of growing, evolving, and maturing. This is the foundation of Fine Gardening.
