Gardens are dynamic, they change from year to year and season to season. How do we let the gardens evolve while staying true to the original design intent? In this session we explore post-project completion services, ecological reasons for planting instability, and the advantages of adaptive management toolkits.
Learning objectives:
- Understand the ecological reasons for planting instability and high landscape maintenance requirements.
- Explore the advantages of adaptive management toolkits over static maintenance manuals.
- Consider how to let gardens evolve while still staying true to the original design intent.
- Recognize the importance of staying engaged as a long-term resource for our clients and contractors.
