for planting
Designing a planting plan for new garden is a stage within the whole garden design process. A planting design should create a visual 'whole' and consist of a variety of planting design elements.
Designing a planting scheme for an existing garden is garden design. Reviewing existing planting may involve the removal or addition of certain plant elements that bring the planting a more cohesive look and feel.
Planning for plants. best described as "right plant, right place" prevents the purchase of plants that subsequently fail after planting, an expense to be avoided, saving money.
Considering the plant elements and their function, form, colour, season, and flower ensures that the overall planting scheme will provide that important 'all year round' interest.
A planting plan or planting design is designed by garden designers and drawn to scale to ensure that the correct number of plants are planted tomee the requirements of client and garden or landscape.
Planting can be designed for an instant effect or to develop and mature. Planting a garden is an investment in the future, a commitment to the environment and wildlife.
Plants in a garden are not static they wax and wane over seasons and years. Garden plants will need looking after. A garden full of plants is an extension to a life full of children, friends, pets and family, requiring nurture, kindness and attention to perform to their brilliant best.
