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.
“When
designing the Eden Project, I was working alongside Peter… he was a
gentle and authoritative guide, as he is in this book. Easy to read
and containing sensible, practical advice for anyone involved with
commercial landscape planting… this book will calmly explain the
issues you are facing and how to make decisions during initial
assessment, design, specification and execution of work on site.”
