Plant Applications – The Design Book
Whether a professional or private passion, this basic reference work opens up whole new perspectives for designing with plants. The author has discovered a systematic approach behind countless design examples and effective plantings that make it easy to use the plants as best suited to every situation. The important aesthetic features of the plants – their habit, colours, textures, structures and contours – are discussed in detail. Different, site-dependent expressions of form are just as fascinating as seasonal and lifelong changes to plants and plantings.
The use of generally applicable design principles – establishing and balancing contrasts, arrangements, hierarchies, classification, repetition and enhancement – make it easy to find effective plant groupings, while planting plans are made transparent and comprehensible through the use of a simple algorithm.
The topics at a glance:
-Experiential quality through forms and colours
-Designing means ordering
-Designing with trees and shrubs
-A diversity of colours and forms with perennials, roses and summer flowers
-From the basic concept to the planting plan
