What is the difference between layering and zoning when it comes to a garden design?
Expert Trade Answers

"When designing a four-season landscape, repetition, scale, flow and depth are design principles used to create a intentional and dynamic garden design. Layering plants, trees, shrubs, grasses, vines and groundcovers in multiple rows using design principles as a guide is what sets magazine-worthy gardens apart from the average home garden."

"Layering in garden design means arranging plants in height levels (tall at the back, medium in the middle, low at the front) for depth and visual interest.
Zoning means dividing the garden into functional areas (e.g., dining, play, relaxation) for better use and flow."
