It is the geometry of these built structures, which, like the shell of a mollusc, makes the growing of the garden, and its resulting richness, possible.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• The form of the garden, and its living structure, come from progressive unfolding the position of one plant continuing and unfolding from the earlier growth of another.claim0.800
  Definition of garden form as a sequential, emergent process.
• It is my belief that a garden is a structure — not very different from a building.claim0.783
  Foundational claim that gardens are built artifacts, not merely natural growth.
• That is the essence of all gardens, and all agriculture: that built materials, human-made structures create a setting in which people, animals and plants can thrive.claim0.781
  Definitional claim about gardens as a symbiosis of built structure and living nature.
• A garden with real life comes from thinking in living terms about every plant, every path, every bush, the fertilizer, the water, every little wall.claim0.774
  Prescription for mindful, granular attention in gardening.
• We human beings will have achieved the structure-preserving unfolding achieved by flowers and grasses on a hillside.claim0.772
  Aspirational claim about the future capacity to create as nature does.
• The land itself, and our love for it, is enough to give the actual building volumes their shape.claim0.770
  If the volumes genuinely help the land, they become more graceful, serious, and differentiated.
• In general, the geometry will be created by differentiation, not by addition or accretion; the parts are given their dimensions by differentiating operations within the spatial shell.claim0.769
  A formal principle of the living process that uniqueness emerges from successive differentiation.
• The complex and curved forms of natural organisms arise naturally from the wholeness of a natural site.claim0.768
