There are a vast range of these designed landscapes from motorways to pocket parks on street corners and they span every sector from private homes to housing schemes, shopping centres and business parks, schools and universities, and visitor attractions.

Designed landscapes can be elaborate or naturalistic. Whether places for recreation, settings for buildings or the masterplans for developments and towns, they are all designed for their sensual appeal and to be enjoyed. Older designed landscapes have matured to become valued wildlife habitats and today designs will include nature features.

This wonderful eclectic mix reflects the artistry and talents of professional designers, horticulturalists, artists, and individual owners.
