The oldest and largest of them are cities actually for all forms of life which can astound you if you look carefully. I often wonder on much older properties at the vestiges of critter populations that remain intact when all around them are being developed, or suburbanized. For example I stood by a tree and happened to look over at the trunk to see the largest tortoishell colored slug I had ever seen in my life! Foxes seem to hang on in much older areas until the ubiquitous coyote hunts them to extinction, here in US. Nature is forever reclaiming her variety whenever she can!

We saw one of our designs the other day where quite clearly the gardener just has too much latitude and no feeling for the essential design and has begun even just after a year to put things in which will spoil the planting.
Hope they like and keep your work.
Its worth them getting a card or even better a letter!
Best

Still waiting for such a person, but no dice so far!

Still, it is hard to resist the urge to put one’s own stamp on things, so it may indeed change. But as you say, gardens are ephemeral and none of us actually owns a garden anyway.

Certainly a wistful moment, like a friend moving far away. Perhaps this door is not closing but opening to a new vista.
