Choreographing experiences with designed plantings is a feat of art, science, and will. The old adage of “right plant, right place” applies to plant survivability of course, but can also apply to the way we arrange plants to encourage particular reactions from visitors. There’s an art to the design of an experience, and there are also simple tactics that can hasten decision-making and help organize a design process. For landscape architect, Preston Montague, those tactics come from composition he learned from an earlier practice as an artist. Join Preston for an examination of planting design strategies he deploys in his studio that are rooted in principles of composition.
