Landscape architects transform the landscape with creativity and thoughtful design, balancing aesthetics with stewardship. Beyond excellent design, we must be mindful to prioritize native flora, fauna, and sustainable materials. In this video, our Innovation and Research Principal, Mary Keilers, highlights the dynamic nature of working with living materials that continually grow and evolve. Plants are adaptable, and their behavior varies across environments, making it crucial to understand how they can thrive through planting design and soil mixes. Through testing, observation, and understanding, landscape architects design environments that flourish and elevate the user experience. Join Mary as she shares her insights on creating landscapes that set new standards for excellence.
