Niall Hobhouse to Alejandro Zaero-Polo on Garden Strategy and Judging
Thanks. What is clear to me is that this much lower key route, if it works, will produce a garden with its own integrity, rather than something for show. And it is a much more interesting way to test out the research you did for the project. The widening discourse can come later, but the rigorous idea requires rigorous execution. The change in the profile of the judges should make it possible to identify the interesting individuals, and we will just have to see what the networking produces. I think it would be nice if your scheme was on your website, and I’d appreciate this. But now things are no longer anonymous it’s actually possible for us to forward the file directly. I’ll be in touch again when I have the site cleared, the paths marked, and a palate of sample materials to look at. Thanks again for last week, it was very helpful.
