This short and practical book gives practitioners in landscape design the basic horticultural knowledge and concepts needed to understand the limits of the ＂material＂ they are working with. From specification to planting, it provides concrete advice along with practical examples for each stage of a typical project, forming a useful tool for landscape architects, project managers and nursery managers.
