*The Stages of the Design Process*

We organized the design process in three stages. Firstly, we reviewed the scientific literature and papers. We presented the church's history in Horostyta, described the main guidelines for designing the church gardens, and explained the symbolism used in these gardens. The next stage of the research consisted of visiting the chosen site for measurements and data gathering and evaluating the site's current garden. The last stage of the research consisted of data processing and the final design proposal based on the findings and insights. We used CorelDraw, Sketchup, and Photoshop software to represent the graphical elements. The stages of the design process are presented below (Figure 1).
