lol....whilst i suspect Jim's garden is in the European style.....all heavy scented flowers, aged fountains and character, what would you do if you had 35,000 sq ft of gardens to design?
well i'd definitely keep the Anglo/Italian theme around the house, but then i think i'd also have a wild kinda theme. I'd want to encourage wild birds and animals, butterflies and flowers......then i'd have a wee smallholding. It's particulary therapeutic for Evan.....i'd have chickens, ducks, a shetland pony for Evan......riding is great for balance and empathy.....
maybe a few rabbits.......a lamb......and a little greenhouse for organic veggies............Evan could help grow food.......Jenny and Jim could eat it.......lol.......
and i'd keep the chill out zone.......but hopefully there would be more birds and butterflies.........and some gentle water features........and lots of plants with large leaf coverage to filter out the LA air.............
they could watch the sunset over LA with the air around them scented with exotic blooms, and listen to the birdsong and insects as they sing their chorus........geez, how romantic.........lucky devils......lol
