摘要

In the summer of 1996 I received a telephone call from a prospective client in the United States. This itself was a surprise as most of my wealthier American clients only communicate through a manager. This man just said his name and that he'd like meto come and redesign his garden in Palo Alto, California. I did not know who he was and he must have realised that. I was not immediately thrilled as I had a tight three-week schedule already planned in the States that included lecturing, promoting a book and visiting existing clients. I always hated being away from home and did not want to make the trip longer. I also felt that to add another perhaps taxing design problem would be too much for my stamina towards the end of a long trip, so I was pretty cold about the idea.
