Garden Growing Wild

Buildings · Cluster

Context Terraced Slope169 · Fruit Trees170 · Tree Places171

Problem

Keeping an entire garden tightly clipped and tended takes constant effort, and it leaves little room for the variety that arises on its own once nature is allowed some freedom. A garden that is tamed throughout also tends to feel sterile.

Solution

Let part of the garden grow wild and unruly on purpose, rather than tending every corner of it, so more life takes hold there while the overall workload actually goes down.
