The planning of a planting follows an algorithm that provides for a procedure from the rough to the detailed. This process can be supported by a mind map.
The mind map helps students to derive ideas and concepts based on a central theme or vision and to pursue them in detail. The form of visualisation not only reflects mental processes, it also supports the consistent pursuit of ideas and stimulates creativity when delving into details.
Ideally, a planting plan is created in the mind map. It is conceivable that alternatives become recognisable and are available for discussion with the teacher and/or client.
