You're very generous and diplomatic: I'll say simply that I think it looks revolting. Horrible. <BR/><BR/>I think grounds are so often an after thought - oh dear, we'd better put in some plants - instead of being planned from the beginning. It's a real shame because plants do so much to improve an area - suburbs aren't called 'leafy' for nothing. <BR/><BR/>I always forget how much I enjoy your blog - sorry for not visiting more often. :-(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6054541406616103006.post-39860497740349571492009-02-02T05:03:00.000+02:002009-02-02T05:03:00.000+02:00Is there some type of design review board that app...Is there some type of design review board that approves commercial projects in your area? If so, they failed as well. If this is an approved project reviewed by peers, then the professionals reviewing the design should be on the review board. In Santa Barbara, CA there is a group of architects, landscape architects and lay people who look at just about anything being built and usually do a pretty good job preventing something like your project. <BR/><BR/>So sad.

But of course, the plants come at last, and by then all the money is gone....<BR/>I agree with you - it's a sorry sight!<BR/>/HelenHelenJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11138254138116569583noreply@blogger.com
