I was struggling with designing a permaculture layout for a small urban space, feeling stuck because traditional methods didn’t quite fit. Then it hit me why not apply graphic design principles to map out the flow and visual harmony of the garden? By treating plant placements like elements in a composition, I created a more intuitive and aesthetically pleasing design that actually improved functionality. Has anyone else found unexpected connections between their hobbies or work that led to a breakthrough? I’d love to hear how you’ve merged different interests to solve a problem.
