Landscape architects, design professionals and contractors alike
require a good working knowledge of how to achieve plant
establishment under a variety of conditions and situations.
Overlooking the physiological needs of plants can lead to potential
problems that can have negative financial and design impacts.
Plants and Planting on Landscape Sites is a practical book giving
practitioners in landscape design the essential horticultural
knowledge and concepts needed to understand the limits of the
material they are working with and make informed decisions. From
specification to supervision, this book provides concrete advice
along with practical examples for each stage of a typical project.
It contains sections on: the landscape site; selecting, assessing
and purchasing plants; understanding nursery practice; forms and
types of transplant traded; seeds and direct seeding; pre-planting
site work; transplanting; and care in the establishment phase.
Specially commissioned high quality line diagrams and full colour
photographs are used throughout to demonstrate meaning and give
examples. Peter Thoday is an experienced consultant, international
lecturer in landscape management, and past president of The
Institute of Horticulture, who has had numerous roles in
high-profile projects, such as Horticultural Director of the Eden
Project. Written by an expert, this book is as an essential tool
for landscape architects, project managers, contractors and nursery
managers.
