New Directions in the American Landscape

Nursery to Design: Plant Purchasing and Site Layout for Native Landscape Projects | Bob Swain, Jim MacKenzie, & Bill Carter

The ecology-based landscape movement is slowly changing the way plants are being grown, procured and planted. This includes alterations in species, propagation technique, size, packaging, site layout, and the expanded use of seed. In these presentations a nursery grower, seed producer, and landscape contractor will illustrate what designers and planters need to know about new developments in how to handle plants and seeds before and after arriving at a project site.
