Planting design

Planting Design refers to the thoughtful selection and arrangement of plants in a garden or landscape to achieve specific aesthetic, functional, and ecological goals. It goes beyond just choosing beautiful plants; it’s about creating a harmonious and sustainable environment.
Rupert Bannister is an experienced horticulturalist providing professional planting design services across Devon, Dorset and Somerset.
