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

  • Light functions first — steps, thresholds, paths — then features
  • Plan cable runs before surfaces go down
  • Choose warm colour temperature and shield fixtures against glare
  • Identify which parts need a licensed electrician
