(excerpt)

“We can’t speak for all artists, but we suspect most of them would prefer to do a dramatic mural on a large wall than paint on the head of a pin. There’s just something about having a vast expanse of space to fill up that satisfies the soul. That’s why, if you want to flex your creative landscaping muscles, a country lot makes an ideal canvas. These lots are normally quite a bit larger than suburban ones—an acre or more—giving you the opportunity to design a variety of separate garden “rooms”…a patio garden here, a mini-prairie there, a wildflower display in still another location. You’re also free of restrictive property-owner association rules and regulations that tend to strangle creativity and produce instead boring, look-alike neighborhoods.”   Chapter on Country Home Gardens, Page 34
