SOFTSCAPE MATTERS
Mastering the Art of Planting Plans

  15th October 2022

---

I’m giving a lecture series in Bristol this autumn titled Softscape Matters : Mastering the Art of Planting Plans. Softscape Design should be a core strength of the landscape profession but sadly it’s a recognised weakness. It needn’t be and shouldn’t be… These lectures teach best practice in all soft landscape aspects from topsoiling, regrading, and softscape masterplanning through to specifying and detailing various planting typologies, maintenance thereof and future proofing.
