I appreciate the opportunity you provide to comment on, and indeed, to enter the competition for a new garden at Hadspen.  As I am not a garden designer I do not feel qualified to enter the competition, but will look forward to seeing the process unfold.  I do hope you come up with a beautiful garden that all can enjoy.
 
I am glad to hear that the FOA plan has been let go as a requirement since the zig-zagpath would have been extremely frustrating for visitors to the garden.  Perhaps as a design idea it had certain beauty on paper, but on the ground it would have been disaster.  As an interior and architectural designer myself, I have a great interest in thedesign of objects and buildings and places, including, of course, gardens.  Therefore, I do hope you will finally choose a design that provides grand opportunity for showcasing plants, as well as demonstrating an openess to new design thoughts, but not at the expense of common sense!
 
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
