Gardening is the most profound and complex of the arts, operating not just inessentially or marginally through time, but deliberately and consciously. What makes a garden great is the tension between the dimensions, between what is structurally permanent and what is temporarily, immediately, imposed upon that structure.

The trouble with master plans in gardens, then, is simply that they do not take into account masterful plants. Nor addled masters.
