Landscape Horticulture

When thinking about garden projects, there are so many possibilities to consider. We could be looking at a completely new garden environment, starting from a blank canvas, re-imagining part of a mature garden, or subtle shaping an established garden to increase its beauty or functionality.

Additionally, we may be considering hardscape features that add to the enjoyment and ease of movement within the garden environment.

A further and perhaps even more important consideration is how the garden space functions in the face of climate change. It’s essential to evaluate the place of water within the garden: have some areas become very dry, or alternatively, are there areas that are heavily impacted by rain events? Have the demands placed on a garden resulted in depletion or erosion of the soil?

There may be many factors to consider, but there are always solutions! Creating garden environments that not only please the senses, but also function properly is deeply fulfilling. As has been said many times before, we never truly own the land, we take care of it for future generations, so let’s care for it the best way we can.
