Understand sun and shade in your garden before you plant
Read light first so planting, seating and atmosphere are placed where they will actually work.
Plot and context
Understand what plot shape, sun, water, circulation and rules mean as you explore styles and consider materials.
Wet garden or drainage problem? Where should you start?
Solve the pattern before you solve the symptom.
