garden layout
Bed arrangement scheme
Garden layout is the arrangement and organization of elements within a garden—where beds, paths, structures, and plantings are positioned relative to each other.
A formal garden layout might feature symmetrical beds and geometric paths, while a cottage garden layout embraces apparent randomness.
