Every good garden design owes its effectiveness
to certain basic design principles. These rules apply to all levels of
gardens, from a simple garden border to an elaborate classical design.
Remember, in any well-designed garden no one feature, plant or structure
is completely dominant. Instead, all features work together to establish
a sense of unity.
C. Unity. A unified design ensures that the garden reads as one whole design rather than a hodgepodge of separate elements.
D. Scale. Scale refers to the balance between sizes of various elements, which includes the house, walkways, paths, fences, garden beds and plantings. No one element or feature should overpower all of the others.
