Garden Design: Life Happens in the Margins

The trinity that remains, below.  Noticed decades ago, what remains of a good garden.  Can you label the remnant layers?

Open, wooded, stone focal point.

Pasture/meadow, woodland, stone focal point.

What I haven't known for decades, about that trinity, is its place in the hierarchy of Nature.  Had to serendipitously  learn its role.
.
Did you know there is a function of meadow next to woodland?
.
High density next to low density.
.
Do you know where this is leading?
.
 Maximum pollinator habitat.
.
All roads lead back to, Life happens in the margins.
.
No accidents.
.
With a garden, the trinity is literal.  Not psycho babble, life-happens-in-the-margins, about creating more space in your life for calm.  Don't understand?  Create & live in a historically designed garden.  You'll get the memo.

Garden & Be Well,   XOT
