Garden where everything is possible . . . 42 Fifteen years ago Alexander Sedov purchased a personal country plot and thereby made a step to a new profession. He became a landscape designer. His own garden is a research, an experiment, full of original solutions.

The essence of the place where the client lives, is unique and everchanging, therefore working on a project the designer should pay much attention to the customer’s opinion. In this case that opinion was as follows: only three trees can be planted in front of the house — a chestnut, a linden and an elm — according to the druid horoscope, they correspond to the spirit of the house’s owners. Widening a living space . . . . . . . . . . . . . 62 The designer Barry Mayled’s project clearly demonstrates how the space near the house can be transformed into an additional open-air green room, especially if it is completely fenced.
