When people think of landscape design, they usually imagine plant palettes, SketchUp models, and garden boots. But behind the scenes, there’s another layer: Security.

I spent my morning navigating the "delightful" world of encrypted PDFs and password-protected forms. While it’s tempting to just hit "send" on an email, your personal information (and mine!) deserves a digital deadbolt. I apply this same level of detail to my construction sets—because doing it the right way is the only way.

The Reward: Switching tabs from Adobe to the much more inspiring textures of Nicotiana alata 'Moonlight'. I'm currently obsessed with its lime-green trumpets and moth-attracting evening scent. Now, I’m off to the garden to actually enjoy that fragrance in person. Happy Friday!
