This biophilic designer's secret to a more relaxing backyard will change how you think about your landscaping for good

What do Sir Isaac Newton and the late Steve Jobs have in common? Well, it’s thought that Newton’s inspiration for his theories on gravity are attributed to the “Apple Incident'' – i.e. where he watched an apple fall from a tree. And, of course, most of us are familiar with Jobs as the co-founder of one of the most groundbreaking and influential tech companies of all time - named after the very same fruit that inspired Newton. 

Maybe they both shared a mutual respect for this humble fruit? I can neither confirm or deny this theory. But what I do know is that it is believed that both of these legendary, creative thinkers are thought to have had their best ideas while out in nature.
