History
Again, because plants are living, we often hold a special reverence for them that goes
beyond the more practical concern about whether they receive adequate water or
fertilizer. Like animals, plants are a form of life that many people believe should be
preserved and protected against harm and death. Looking back in history,
fi
nd that certain
primitive
cultures such as the Hlandeling tribe in Indonesia and some American Indian tribes
actually refused to cut down living trees out of religious respect for their life.

“Plants are increasingly being recognized as a vital part of our urban and domestic environments, not just a
luxury or an unnecessary – if pleasant – bit of decoration. It has long been established, for example, that the
mere view of plants through a window has a bene
fi
cial e
ff
ect on the human psyche, and that plants can play
an important role in cleaning and purifying the air of buildings and built-up environments.

Nick Robinson - The Planting Design Handbook-Routledge (2016).pdf
Abies alba Mill
Abies: The genus name and represents a
group of closely related species
alba: This is the species name
Mill : This is the author abbreviation and
refers to the person who formally
described or published the species.

BASIC PRINCIPLES FOR PLANTING DESIGNS
• Maintenance and use + demands of plants + site
(potential)
•
All 3 have to be satisfactory
two approaches:
• Horticultural/dendrological (plant = aim)
• landscape architectural (plant = tool)
• Dendrology is a branch of botany that specializes in the
characterization and identi
fi
cation of woody plants, while
Botany is the study of all types of general plants.

1.Functional and spatial characteristics, including ecological functions
2.Visual and other aesthetic characteristics

bodies of water.

Criteria for choosing species and cultivars
1. Properties of planted area:
• Location, exposure
• Climate: particularly the effects of frost or heatwave
• Soil: acidity or alkalinity, groundwater
• Size of planted area in view of the size of root system and and the
crown
• Degree to which area is built up: buildings, sidewalks, overhead
wires and subsurface wires
• Pollution
• Pavements
22. Plantation

2. Features of planned plants:
• Height and width of the crown
• Stability (storm injury, wind tunnel)
• Drought or rather tolerance of high groundwater
• Resistance against pests and diseases

Criteria for choosing species and cultivators
Aesthetics is not a matter of ornamentation but of
creating experiences and spaces for social
routines and spatial anchored activities.” (Braae,
2015, p. 122)
27. Plantation
Anual
Trees
Requirements for suitable trees:
• Stress tolerance
• Ornamental value
• Central leader, trunk remains straight up through the crown, optimal crown,
• Sturdy branch system Additional requirements:
• Little or no fruits if possible
• resistance to air contamination
• Thermo radiation
• Drought resistance
• Less sensitivity to high concentration of salt and metal
• Capability of long leafy period, late defoliation
So there are no such species, cultivars to serve entirely these requirements
The principal feature should be decided by the user’s group

or to mark the boundary of an area

•De

•Shield you from the wind,
•Screen out ugliness or create privacy
•Clipped/trimmed – small leaved, well regenerating plants,
•Cutting or un cutting hedges
•High – from eye level
•At middle height – about 1–1,5 m
•Low (marking) – under 1 m

The Experience of Space
The Elements of Spatial Composition
In The Visual and Spatial Structure of Landscape (1988), Higuchi analyzed landscape space in terms
of four aspects:
1. Boundaries
2.Focus–center–goal
3.Directionality
4.Domain

Transitions
The transition between two spaces will also vary
according to what Francis Ching calls the
‘relationship’ between the two spaces. He
identi
fi
es four conditions:
1.a space within a space,
2.interlocking spaces,
3.adjacent (abutting) spaces, and
4.spaces linked by a common space.

STEPS OF CREATING A PLANTING DESIGN
• Learn about the demands and limitations
• Gather information about the site
• Place functions and create basic spatial structure
• Fill in the structure with details and select plants
•

Learning about the site
•Ask the owner ,client or users
•Observe (Aspect ,Soil,Nearby Plants )
•Maps ,Literature ,Data (provided by owner or Internet )

Things To Consider With Planting Combination
•Demands of plants (Soil ,Sun ,Water ,Etc )
•Flowering times and life cycles
•Time of ornamental value
•Spreading Speed and growth habit
•Sizes colures and textures-Contrast and harmony
•Maintenance
•Price and budget

68. Visual Properties of Plants
Planting that is primarily structural will nonetheless endow the landscape with the
detailed visual qualities of color, texture, pattern, etc. Foliage, bark,
fl
owers,
fruit and winter seed heads all contribute to the detail and character of spaces,
even though they are secondary to its basic spatial framework.

Texture
Plant texture can be de
fi
ned as any plant part's visual roughness or smoothness. It is akin to the
texture of a painting, the grain of a photograph, or the consistency of materials such as fabric,
stone, brick, or wood. Texture is a function of the scale of differentiation and division within a
material. It may be the result of a pattern of lines, but if so, it is determined only by the scale of the
pattern and not by the direction of the lines. A plant is commonly referred to as having a
Coarse, Fine, or Medium texture.

Color
Colour, of course, does not always mean intense color: Subtle colors and how to use them are
equally important as are the colours of foliage and stems and of the plant at all times of the year.
Colour theory began in a systematic way with Goethe’s Theory of Colours (1840). Certain scienti
fi
c
principles are generally accepted although some aspects of the perception of colour remain
enigmatic. We will not attempt a full explanation of colour theory but con
fi
ne ourselves to principles
of most practical use to the planting designer.

Color
Hue, Saturation, Colour Perception
The actual color observed, that is, the characteristics of the light re
fl
ected from an object, depends
on the light source and, if this is the sun, on the weather.
