Gardens should be user friendly

This is a simple garden that pulls you out of the house. Gardens should be a inviting environment, not some objectified space designed only for the designer. When did architecture and garden design get taken over by space photography. The same time google maps came out. I don’t want to live on a island in Dhabi shaped like some developers idea of poetry. So why are so many gardens now created for the 4th floor window. If your gonna design a garden that you don’t want to hang out in, you should just go ahead frame the blueprints and put them over the fireplace mantel. How you feel inside a space is more important than what it looks like from a far.
