Unity has to be achieved from various angles. The unity of style, feeling, and function between the house and the garden has to be achieved. The different components of the gardens should merge harmoniously with each other. The aim is to give the visitor an overall impression of the garden rather than blowing up some special features. Harmony between the landscape outside and the garden. A garden laid outin complete defiance of the local conditions may look exotic, but is nota successful garden.RHYTHM Rhythm is an easy connected path along which the eye will travel inany direction from one point to another without disturbance.
