The exercise is posted to the left, under the syllabus.
Pick a garden.
Study it.
Read the first two readings.
Read the Exercise.

FOR TUESDAY BRING TO CLASS A WELL CRAFTED SET OF SAME SIZED AND COLOR SHEETS (index cards work excellent) OF PAPER EACH ONE WITH ONE ELEMENT, CONDITION, OR SURFACE THAT YOU THINK (together as a set of pieces of paper) COMPRISE YOUR GARDEN.  

We will work on these and talk about your progress in class and finish the Exercise for Thursday.
A list of possible elemental conditions is provided at the end of the handout.

The Bonus Question:
What "intellectual armature" emerges from your study to become the organizing narrative of the garden?

There's a lot of stuff posted for you below.
