  hi guys... a few thoughts: be sure to read the next phase of our current project. the next step is NOT to simply add planting to your island. it is to create unique spaces untilizing materials and planting along with a "theme" to create garden display spaces. be sure to take your creativity to the limits... make your spaces as inviting and interesting as possible.
though there is to be only one "structure" (meaning building) you can add other constructed elements such as pergolas, arbors, amphitheater type areas, walls, barriers, etc. keep thinking about materials and most importantly SPATIAL SEQUENCING. also... there is a lecture tongiht in the weaver auditorium. jim urban will be lecturing about something extraordinarily relevant to the world of landscape architecture (though i do not recall what exactly...). you should go. i cannot.
