Yes, I think the Manifesto says it all . I confess to a good many reservations about the FOA analysis and plan. To me, the points will be exceedingly difficult to manage; perhaps by some form of bridging or, maybe, using something(s) else there other than plants. I can’t help thinking the architects got so carried away by their researches and brilliance that they rather forgot about what it feels like to be in an exciting garden. Anyway, I look forward to what comes up at the next stage. A really original approach is much needed (and I don’t mean a Jencks Version, where random thoughts are just tacked onto a basic structure - a good structure.) Was at Barrington Court yesterday, just to be reminded of horticultural mediocrity.
