GARDENS
“I came to Blair with specific, rather
outlandish ideas. We were working
around a substantial remodel and the
restrictions of living in a floodplain.
I shared my ideas using photographs
from landscape designers I admired,
including Edmund Hollander (New
York) and John Howard (Atlanta).
Blair and I teased out the elements
and the overall feel I wanted. Her
ideas included the allées, the wood-
land walk and the dogwoods along
the side yard. While her talent as a
designer came first, Blair’s reputation
for remaining focused on both sched-
ule and budget was a close second.
We wanted a designer who was orga-
nized and didn’t add any drama to the
already stressful process of extensively
remodeling a house and yard.”
