Keith
felt he needed a broader avenue, on one hand, and a more
focused format, on the other, to deliver real help to the many
who ask for it from around the globe.
He solicited the
participation of other professional garden designers, plant
experts and contractors of high standing, and together they
form the nexus of LDGP. As the purpose of this site is to
provide information on garden design, and access to
garden-related products of the highest quality, several
sections have been created, including the garden products
pages, garden links, the 'how to build' section and other
facets of the site.
