Full Description
The purpose of this book is to describe and explain the planting design process as distinct from the horticultural approach to planting design, which concentrates on the individual plant and its attributes. Planting design is a complex process which, although incorporating horticultural and climatic considerations, is under-represented in books for the practitioner. The spatial and three dimensional use of planting is perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of design to convey, especially when the decorative qualities of individual plants are so universally celebrated.
