Loose parts are things that can be used in open-ended ways. In the garden could be:
- local rocks
- logs cut to different lengths
- sticks broken to different lengths
- half whiskey barrels
- pavers
- bricks
- pots
- ollas
Loose parts are things you can rearrange and play with — things you can use to sketch out your garden, and that you can move over time as your garden changes and develops.
