Product Description
Product Description
The visual and psychological benefits of greening work and leisure spaces with plants are well-proven, but which plants should you choose, how should they be planted and what maintenance is required? This practical guide, designed primarily for architects, interior designers and landscape professionals, takes the reader through the history and background of interior planting with the help of historical and contemporary examples, many of which are illustrated. The author shows how work, leisure and public spaces, including buildings such as schools, offices and hotels, have been enhanced with planting schemes, and explains the benefits that justify their installation. The book provides practical recommendations for lighting and watering systems, temperature levels and other environmental requirements, such as growing media and structural support, as well as advice on long-term maintenance. Guidance on selecting and specifying plants is followed by an illustrated plant index showing species' form, scale and textural effect, and other information. The illustrations show how planting schemes integrate with overall design concepts.

This review is from: Interior Planting: A Guide to Plantscapes in Work and Leisure Spaces (Hardcover)
Excellent reference material for anyone who is considering constructing an internal planting scheme. The book has been written in a coherent and thought provoking manner, obtainable to anyone interested in the subject whether they are at a professional or graduate level. With a wonderful array of illustrations, the book is a fascinating read which not only educates but inspires the reader... As a unique book you will find it holding a place on your shelf as a indespensible guide for many years to come. No other book comes close.
