Professional landscapers and all those involved in creating green
spaces have long been in need of a book that is a guide to plant
specification, but also makes sense of plants and their
cultivation. Plant User Handbook is for practitioners who are
professionally engaged in the use of plants in public, commercial
and institutional landscapes. Planting schemes are undertaken on
the basis of a binding contract – generally between the client
(who owns or leases the landscape) and the implementer (the
landscape contractor), with the designer acting both as specifier
and contract administrator. Within this contractual relationship,
planting schemes must be implemented to an agreed timetable. To
manage this procedure efficiently, landscape designers and managers
need quick access to the factual and scientific background for
practical planting design and its implementation through
specification writing and contracts. The book covers over 20 well
defined topics, and is written by leading experts in the industry.
It is arranged into five sections: Preliminaries to plant use and
the landscape Managing plant growth on landscape sites
Establishment and management of trees Establishment and management
of smaller woody plants Establishment and management of herbaceous
plants Carefully illustrated with diagrams, black and white
photographs and colour plates, this handbook provides a unique
resource for professionals wanting to improve their specification
skills, as well as to explore creative approaches to design and
practical implementation.
