Ha! Specs need to have "green side up" for turf if you want it done right!

Ah yes, but I've seen many a green pot... so then what would happen ?
& just think of the confusion if said green pot also added "remove plant
before putting in hole"
Now I know what I wondered at the time. How come their boss didn't notce no
poys to dispose of? But then, I also knew he was the type that didn't want
to know about "problems" and that would be just such an issue for him.

More pertinent to planting or design than the questions asked by the
interviewer later in the day. He was more interested in finance and
manufacturing processes. There was little asked about the planting.

Possibly at Diurmuid's own request since he is not a plantsman and
would soon show his ignorance. His designs are about colour, form and
texture and invariably the plants are an afterthought -- usually
someone else's.

may I ask you both for instances/examples of such possible questions. I know
what I thought Victoria initially meant and it seems I might still on the
right track, but I'd like to be more sure.
I looked at the plants and realised the changes that will occur over time,
and I don't mean years, yet was satisfied that such changes, though dramatic
in some instance, would not distort the overall composition.

A waffler in fact? If he does not know about plants, by virtue of
what could he call himself a garden designer?

I haven't seen it, but watching the tv series - particularly last

planting,
which we barely saw discussed.

Not wishing to be to picky, it was the design of the planting and
not the
planting itself to which I was referring to as superb.
Overall, I thought the garden a masterpiece and it takes quite a bit
of
talent to employ a ludicrous gimmick which fails to detract from the
rest to
the point of redundancy.

I have to disagree. The garden was very well designed and executed,
with the exception of the coloured baubles. Without them, it would
actually have deserved the prize it was awarded.
What are we to expect in a modern garden, an unmade bed (of the
sleeping-on type)?

Your thoughts run along a perfectly sensibly logical path, but does so
presuming... as we would all dearly like to... that such shows are for real
gardeners, ergo, real gardens..
Might I suggest you review that fantasy, however justified it is.
Like the other garden I mentioned, (Into the light) if I had Diarmiuds to
look out at in the morning, I wouldn't.
Nor has he suggested it as a proposed norm.
The "Into the light" garden is way too glaring, but in both cases, the sheer
skill of the art of creation is what I look too. The rest... is less
interesting in my particular case.
Which is the only reason why on an other measure of judgement I could apply
.... yours is the more valid of our views. That would be the ... if Diarmuid
has to explain the joke, then it just aint working... rule.
