Just happened to find this
http://www.wsnla.org/AnatomyofaGarden.htm
Spcifically that it has a good check list for design elements that
software doesn't always do.
"Unity, Proportion and Scale, Balance and Boundaries, Alighment and
Proximity, Focal Points and Sight Lines, Repetition and Pattern,
Contrast and Texture, Five senses and Time, and Simplicity are the
design principles that contribute to "building proportioned and well-
arranged gardens. "
It then spells them out. deals with Phi too

It's by a Kate Easton... might that be the Kay Easton wot used to post
here I wondered


I doubt it as that's in Washington USA. But 'our' Kay still posts here.
