Description

Today’s landscape architect or designer is including more native plants in their palette. In a client-driven practice, native plants must be used strategically, with maximum appreciation of their attributes. Through the exploration of case studies, we will show how design elements become the organizing framework through which to view and appreciate native plants. This newfound appreciation among our clients reinforces the relationship between people and nature, essential to the longevity of our natural environment.
