Plants and Planting on Landscape Sites

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.”Dominic Cole CMLI FIOH OBE, Dominic Cole Landscape Architects, UK
