Not planted yet — but the plan for it is final
The practical task and the checklist below are exactly what this lesson will teach. What is missing is the written explanation and the curated links, each one fetched and verified before it ships.
In the meantime the checklist is genuinely usable on its own. Take it outside.
Checklist
- Set path widths by use, not by what looks nice on paper
- Check the view from every internal room that faces the garden
- Identify overlooking from neighbouring windows and upper storeys
- Confirm access for bins, trailers, mowers and future machinery
