Below are specific steps and deliverables to help you achieve your vision:

1. Assess Your Spaces and Activities:

   • List activities you envision enjoying in your garden (e.g., reading, yoga, outdoor dining, meditation, birdwatching, or therapeutic activities).

   • Reflect on secondary purposes such as aesthetic beauty, educational value, or as a retreat from urban life.
   • Consider the frequency and intensity of use for each activity to inform your design decisions.

3. Design Elements:

   • Create a layout plan that optimizes space for the activities listed.

4. Quality Assurance:

   • Plan for regular soil pH testing and nutrient monitoring.
   • Include pest control measures tailored to the garden's ecosystem.
   • Develop a system for periodic inspection and updates to maintain garden health and safety.

   • Consider how the garden can expand or adapt as your lifestyle or preferences evolve.
   • Plan for future proofing by incorporating adaptable design elements or modular components (e.g., planters, seating).
   • Ensure flexibility to accommodate changes in use patterns over the long term.

6. Delivery and Presentation:

   • Edit and organize the assessment into a comprehensive report with clear visuals and actionable recommendations.
   • Include a list of plants, tools, or materials needed for implementation.
