Judging from a walk through my neighborhood tonight (and work with clients), this is a difficult concept to practice. Not only was I overwhelmed by the pinks and the purples (Redbuds, Crab Apples, Lilacs & Judd Viburnum) without much green to distinguish them, but also, one fragrance canceled out another. I often try to compare the rhythm in a landscape to dance or music: we need to introduce contrast in order to fully enjoy the virtues we are striving to create. In this woodland setting at the arboretum, I felt the plants could breathe and I with them.
