Garden Planning
q Planning of garden
features (plants, materials, climatic conditions, growth of plants, activities
etc) considering the site conditions
prior to develop a gardened landscape is termed as garden planning.
q The planning of a garden is an art. It may be
undertaken by a professional. A landscape architect is a professional who can
plan and realise outdoor spaces.
q The planner must
give consideration to many factors:
•Purpose, User activities
•Existing conditions
•Financial
constraints
•Maintenance
implication
• Climate, materials
• The landscapist
should not try to imitate another garden without considering site condition and context.
•Design should give due consideration to the local conditions.
One more mistake which is commonly made
is to plant many more specimens than a garden can accommodate causing
overcrowding .
• A good planner is one who will make best use of site conditions.
•The land with
natural undulations should never be
level without proper need. The differences in
level should be utilized with advantage .
