RYTHMIC DESIGN OF NATURAL ELEMENTS

Rhythm in a landscape is about repetition and the

strategic placement of elements that contribute to
a garden's underlying structure. ... It's these relationships
that communicate rhythm.
** The visual ebb and flow created by these relationships
can be compared to recurring beats and pauses in
musical notation.
CONECTION BETWEEN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR

- Gradually from the inside out

- Similar Material to indoor
UNITY IN DESIGN
Unity in design simply means all the separate parts of the
landscape work together to create a great total design.

** Using too many individual plants or other objects in the

landscape often leads to a cluttered and chaotic effect. On
the other hand, too many of the same kind of plant can
lead to a boring effect.
