A guy I know has posted on Brooklynian with little response to a landscaping question. Being a good guy (I hope), I am reposting it here on the forum. Can folks help him out? Follow the link:

My wife and I are avid gardeners, and half way decent graphic designers, but not so hot when it comes to landscape design or strategies.

We currently have a construction project finishing up in the next few months next door (4 stories of brick now blocking us in) and will be ripping out our “oh so Bklyn” concrete patio and redoing our planting and veggie gardening area. The space is approx. 55X20 ft. with a mature eunymous, a gardening shed and planted beds (can you say hosta?).

The project includes figuring out the patio, pathways and planting areas, as I stated above, some of which already planted up (but can be moved).

We “think” we know what we want. We definitely know what we like and dislike…and of course are on a budget.

Looking for a landscape designer or student who could work with the two of us on a game-plan to turn our haven into a heaven. We will be doing the final work ourselves, most likely.

Any recommendations appreciated or solicitations wanted. Please PM me or post here with any questions…

Thanks in advance!
