Cómo saber lo que tu cliente realmente necesita en un jardín

A garden is never truly finished. And that, far from being a problem, is the most beautiful thing about landscaping. In this episode of "No Plants on My Tongue," we interview Alejandra de la Cerda, architect and founder of Tejido Paisaje (Landscape Fabric), a studio that understands gardens as living things that evolve over time, not as a finished product. Her work combines architecture, nature, and design with people to create spaces that evolve with those who inhabit them. We talk in depth about understanding a garden as a never-ending process, why the gardens you see in magazines are almost never as new as they seem, and how to work with clients who ask for something they don't actually need. We also explore why some plants that seem like a problem actually help restore damaged soil, how nature changes on its own over time, and why a garden designed to last can also be beautiful from day one. 🌱 The beauty isn't in the garden being finished on day one. The beautiful thing is watching it grow as you grow with it. 💡 If you're interested in landscaping, gardening, long-term garden design, nature, and how green spaces change over time, this podcast episode will help you understand why no garden is ever truly finished. ► Our Social Media: Landscape Academy:   / academiadelpaisaje   Website: https://www.academiapaisaje.org/ No Plants on the Tongue:   / sinplantasenlalengua   Ignacio Ribera:   / ignacio.paisajismo   ► Alejandra's Social Media: Landscape Weaving:   / tejidopaisaje   Ale de la Cerda:   / _aledelacerda   Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction and presentation 02:08 - Who is Alejandra de la Cerda? 03:30 - Accompanying processes: her motivation 05:23 - Letting go of control in garden design 08:13 - Why the client never receives a finished garden 10:55 - The garden always improves with time Time 12:35 - Magazines: Old gardens sold as new 14:51 - The beauty of the newly planted 18:00 - Growing with the garden 21:42 - Why winter isn't a problem 23:04 - Waiting for plants to bloom 27:27 - What is Landscape Fabric? 30:45 - Listening to the client without dismissing their idea 33:26 - Why they prefer drawings to perfect images 38:01 - The palm tree that reminded them of Grandma's garden 43:01 - The course that changed their view of landscape 46:17 - The fear of certain plants and their real function 50:59 - The first plants that appear on a plot of land 55:24 - How a garden changes just over the years 58:02 - More life isn't always more forest 01:00:12 - Weeds aren't so bad 01:01:10 - Saying no to a client or accepting Challenge 01:03:42 - The future of landscape design 01:10:18 - Closing: Enjoy the process, not just the result
