Leaders at three prominent landscape architecture practices that focus on planted systems within their work explore planting mock-ups and plant trials. How can they aid or hinder the design and documentation process, help with plant sourcing and availability challenges, guide implementation, and ensure long-term success in planting strategies?

Learning Objectives:

• Examine the success and failure of planting mock-ups across projects of varied size and scope.
• Discuss methods of evaluating complex planting strategies during the design process.
• Gain a better understanding of how to develop and implement planting mock-ups in varied project types.
• Learn how to source and implement diverse planting strategies in varied regions and climate.
