This month on the Roundtable, we would like to introduce you, our readers, to those individuals who have inspired us and shaped our visions. We are very happy to welcome Thomas Rainer as a guest this month. Thomas writes a very thought provoking blog called Grounded Design, and we know you’ll like what Thomas has to say.
Here is a little more about Thomas -
Thomas Rainer
Thomas Rainer is a landscape architect by profession and a gardener by obsession. Thomas has worked on projects such as the U.S. Capitol grounds, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, and The New York Botanical Garden, but is happiest puttering in his small garden in Washington, D.C. Thomas thinks you should use more natives, plant in humongous masses, and loosen up that landscape, for crying out loud.
And now without further ado, may we present, our Idols! Please follow the links below to each of the blogs, and Enjoy!

Hi Thomas Rainer,Please accept my warm welcome on this site. I got really amazed by the quality work you have done so far in the field of Garden Design and Landscaping.I would like to ask you just that when you design a garden then what the first thing that comes in your mind? Is it just designing of the garden and Its exteriors or you pay attention in making it more unique in design with keeping the natural surroundings intact
