In the process, they manage not only to annoy home owners but also to alter long-established patterns of forest succession (Foster et al. 2002: 1337–57). The dynamic nature of interactions among people, plants, animals, and introduced pathogens in today’s world is producing novel ecological conditions with unpredictable consequences for the future (Gregg et al. 2003: 183–87).

What is the relationship between expenditure in the operation of a gold mine and expenditure in a designed landscape system? The proposal for interventions in the Oceana Gold Heritage and Art Park uses the ancient formulation of the pleasure garden as a way to investigate these questions.
