Plants in a garden are planted, on the one hand, according to the original design, and on the other, according to current circumstances. Some survive, others are destined to become compost. Plants can be replanted and repositioned, playing with light and shadow, wind and rain. Overgrown plants are trimmed or cut down, and if, for example, a flower does not fit its surroundings by color, it is moved to a place that suits it better aesthetically. While gardening, we pull weeds and fertilize plants that need extra support. A good gardener constantly watches the health of the plants on the plot and makes adjustments when needed: enriches the soil, replants, invents a new layout.
