Shaping Living Landscapes: From Design to Long-Term Stewardship
This session explores the full journey of soft landscaping — from concept design through to on-site delivery, establishment, and long-term stewardship. Students will gain insight into how plant selection, soil preparation, and climate resilience inform successful design; how collaboration and logistics shape delivery; and why the establishment phase is critical for long-term success. We’ll also examine the role of ongoing stewardship in ensuring landscapes thrive ecologically, socially, and culturally, transforming green spaces into lasting assets. The talk combines technical know-how with real project examples to show how living landscapes are designed, built, and cared for over time.
