The document discusses the key principles of landscape gardening, including simplicity, balance, focalization, rhythm and sequence, proportion and scale, and repetition. Simplicity involves establishing harmony among garden elements. Balance can be symmetrical, with equal visual weight on both sides, or asymmetrical. Focalization draws the viewer's eyes to a focal point. Rhythm and sequence provide a flow of lines and colors to guide the eye. Proportion concerns size relationships. Repetition adds order and unity through duplicating elements.

- 5. Simplicity Simplicity is the harmonious relationship among all elements and characteristics of a garden. To establish unity in a garden, stay simple and minimize.
- 6. Balance Balance is a gardening principle of equalization of visual weight from one area of a landscape composition to another. Two different types of balance exist in landscape garden: SYMMETRICAL BALANCE ASYMMETRICAL BALANCE
- 7. Balance SYMMETRICAL BALANCE Symmetrical balance is a formal balance. It is sometimes referred to as bi-lateral symmetry. In Symmetrical balance the same components are repeated on both sides of the composition. The visual and actual weight is equally distributed on each side.
- 8. Balance ASYMMETRICAL BALANCE A symmetrically balanced landscape compares to a level balance scale. Both sides of the scale are level with the exact same weights on each plate. Asymmetrical balance is an informal balance. It does not repeat the same plant material in the same quantity or in the same relative position on either side of the center axis. It does not have the sameness on each side.
- 9. Focalization The focal point is the point or area of the landscape that attracts the viewers eyes. The visual break captures the attention of the viewer and draws it to the focal point. Without a point or area on which to focus, the viewers eyes become lost and confused throughout the landscape.
- 10. Rhythm And Sequence Rhythm and sequence describe the dynamic unity or the related, orderly that they are the apparent flow of lines, textures, and colors that express a feeling of motion rather than confusion. Rhythm and sequence lead the viewers eyes easily and smoothly along a deliberate, dominant, and visual path.
- 11. Proportion And Scale Proportion is the relationship that exists among the components of a landscape. It also describes the relationship between the components of the landscape Proportion involves the size relationships, the mathematical relationships among the dimensions of space and site components making up the landscape garden. For example, corner plantings next to a house that are two thirds the distance from the ground to the eave are proportional to the house. The height of the corner plantings is proportional to the height of the eave.
- 12. Repetition Repetition involves repeating or using an element more than once It helps establish and add order and unity to a design.
