Sure wish I could find competent, helpful people to perform this level of work in my area. Thank you for taking the time to educate and inspire folks to a better yard design.

Which program you use to draw landscapes like this? Archicad?

Regardless, this was still an excellent video, and the rest of the series has great tips. Thank you for taking the time to make and post these videos.

I understand. That would have made it better. I had intended to do more videos on this design already but it got put on hold. I’m actually just getting back to it now. However, it is kind of a preliminary to show shape and a few considerations. Still, I understand what you’re saying. There will be more videos to this soon.

I probably should have waited to put it out or at least wrote a more complete script to it. It was intended to be a series.

I thought you were going to discuss plants, trees, and decorative features that you chose for the mediterranean garden.

For example if I said I was doing a Japanese garden I would maybe discuss cherry blossom trees, bamboo, water features, Koi fish, rock garden portions, etc.

Lots of folks who are simply interested in plants or gardening go to school to study landscaping. Inspiration and passion are key. However, with study and knowledge, they can be acquired. A “friend of mine” who had very little passion for landscaping but is an artist has one of the most successful landscaping companies in the country. Like any other skill, the better you get at it, the more inspired you can be. You’ll know within a few years of doing it if you are.

I’m not sure what you’re expecting to see. This design could be any style depending on elements and plants. For most people looking for design ideas, they’re looking for shapes as well as planting schemes. This video was created to give people ideas for shape and considerations in design. The plants we’ll use, cobble pavers, and other elements will combine with the style of the home to be Med. It’s a top flat view. What are you expecting to see?

What is so mediterranean about this design?

AGAVEFARMER on Wed, 27th Jan 2010 10:13 pm 



I cannot imagine that anyone would hire you if you are not inspired. I would not. My friend is a landscape architecture and he absolutely loves it. His passion makes him study more and he therefore does better work. If you just look at it as a job, it will show. Follow your passion, whatever it is, just know that with creative jobs you really have to have the inspiration.

I’m studying landscapearchi in Berlin and I can tell you: You must be very interested in art, architekture and of course plants and you must be creativ.

And by the way, I dont see where the mediterranean part of this garden is.

Looks great!
I’m from belgium and i don’t know what to study, it looks cool to do landscape architecture, but i’m afraid i don’t have enough inspiration for it, does it grows too when you’r studying or do you have to have it?

I have a similar layout to this garden, your tips have been very useful in helping me with my garden design, especially the path layout. Thanyou
