Good planting design involves two different but complementary approaches –

“One is the ability to see each plant as a whole individual, with all its characteristics, and the other is to be able to subordinate the individual plant to the picture as a whole”, Sylvia Crowe, noted English garden designer & landscape advisor.

To this end – good planting design requires “clear objectives, a planting strategy and plant selection”, James Hitchmough, English ecological planting design expert.
