A beginning, middle, and satisfying ending.
You can think of a novel in terms of its beginning, middle, and end. And if those three elements don’t work together, if any one of them fails, then the novel as a whole fails. It’s a matter of coherence.
If a novel begins brilliantly but goes downhill as it goes on, it’s a disappointment, even if it ends with a flourish. And if the beginning and middle are good but the ending is unsatisfying, the reader feels cheated.
So it is with the garden. You can think of the garden as consisting of a beginning, a middle, and an end. And if those three elements don’t work together, if any one of them fails, then the garden as a whole fails. It’s a matter of coherence.

If the beginning of the garden fails, you won’t want to walk through it. If the middle fails, you won’t enjoy the walk. And if the end fails, you won’t feel satisfied. A garden can begin well, but then go wrong in the middle. So can a novel.
A garden can have a brilliant beginning and a superb ending, but if the middle is boring, you won’t enjoy it. The best gardeners think like novelists.
The novel and the garden both have beginnings, middles, and ends. And all three have to work together for the novel or the garden to be successful.
