decoding garden

A garden's spatial affordance refers to the way the design and layout of the garden allows for specific activities or movements within the space. This can include things such as paths for walking, open areas for gatherings, and specific planting beds for growing certain types of plants. The spatial affordance of a garden also includes how it interacts with the surrounding environment. The garden's spatial affordance is not only important for the human users but also for the biodiversity within the garden. Birds and insects play a crucial role in the interdependency of a garden ecosystem. A garden with diverse plant species, nesting sites and food sources can attract a wide variety of birds and insects. Some plants will spread through seeds that are dispersed by wind or animals, while others may spread through underground roots or rhizomes. In the absence of human maintenance, invasive species may quickly outcompete native plants, while other plants may die off due to lack of care. As the abandoned vegetation grows, it creates a new ecosystem, providing food and shelter for different species of animals and insects.
