Re: Planned or Unplanned gardens
The only time I really planned a garden section was when I had the pond installed. This is not something you can do on the fly. I handed the landscape designer my sketches, and he took off from there. It's almost as I envisioned in my head beforehand, but definitely better.
For the rest, I tend to plan by walking around with the plant pot in my hand until the right location inspires me, then I dig!
