Landscape Basic

Freehand Drawing
The first graphic ideas in the design process are best expressed with freehand drawings. These two dimensional drawings illustrate ideas for your outdoor space and allow you to visualize your dream garden.
Plant List
A list of plant material for a specific area in the garden with a particular theme. Includes botanical and common plant names. Colour themes, seasonal interest, light conditions, blooming periods, sensual appeal (fragrance, texture, sound) and maintenance are factors considered in the plant selection.
Examples of possible plant selections include:
  • red, orange perennial border with four season interest in full sun
  • evergreens and grasses for a Japanese style courtyard
  • perennial shade garden underneath a tree with a contrasting colour scheme
