The old inside outdoor blurring the sustainable room chestnut
In my vast social network (which is in direct contrast to my actual network of a dozen friends and family) it’s sometimes interesting to see what other industry designers and landscapers are up to. I say sometimes because so often it’s the same tired old phrases that come up time and time again.
Not wanting to sound like Mr Appleby and have a go at all those writers who are surprised every year by the emergence of snowdrops and feel a need to write an article (again) I came across this particularly good blog

and whilst I don’t agree with it totally I almost actually do. I don’t want to be in an outdoor room, I want to be in a garden or a park. I also want to add another term which is ‘softening’ the hard landscape. If its too hard for the client or design then change it, don’t cover it up!
