Garden design is like putting together a puzzle of plants and structures to make a beautiful outdoor space.
Just like how you need to make a plan before you start building a puzzle, garden design also requires a plan. This plan is called a design and it shows where all the different plants and structures will go in the garden.
Plants are like the puzzle pieces, each one fitting into a specific spot in the garden. Some plants need lots of sun, some need lots of shade, and some need a mix of both. Like how you have different shaped pieces in a puzzle, there are different types of plants with different shapes, sizes, and colors.
Structures are like the borders of a puzzle. Some gardens have fences or hedges to create a boundary between the garden and the outside world. Structures can also be things like patios, walkways, and water features.
Once the plan (design) is made and the puzzle pieces (plants) and borders (structures) are placed in the right spots, the garden becomes a beautiful landscape that people can enjoy.
