Garden design is an art of space. The space, to be a recognisable design, must be contained and the plants and walls enclosing it then become part of the adjacent spaces. The garden has thus become a series of rooms, each with its own character, from small intimate spaces to large enclosed prospects.

Gardens focus the art of place-making or landscape architecture in the way that poetry can focus the art of writing...

In this time of our culture, where experience is increasingly mediated through mere imagery, through the screens of the electronic information age, the environment of our daily experience yearns for groundedness. The place we dwell, the physical environment, the home, is not an abstraction. Here, the sense of time is registered through light and shadow, the changing seasons, and the sense of place is the connection to the land. This is a fundamental reality of being.
--James Grayson Trulove, writing about landscaper Topher Delaney
