Garden wisdom
Designing of spaces for people to share
with plants is a marriage of art and
science. Artistic planting design demands
horticultural knowledge, the compositional
vision of the sculptor, the spatial expertise
of an architect and the restraint of a poet.
Plants are like the paint on a canvas.
Trees can stand in for the shelter of
a building; shrubs can define
boundaries and screen views
like a wall. Flowers decorate
like bright pillows; turf
and ground covers are
like carpets in a room.
