I feel I have been blessed with this gift.Years ago when I talked to my mom about a privacy fence in the backyard she just said no way. After it was installed, the first thing her and my sister said was WOW, we never really noticed the plant material in the yard. Yes, I said, do you know why?We simply took some material and created a backdrop for the plants that were already in place.We sometimes do the very same thing with outdoor landscape lighting.
