Landscape Design 5<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Planting Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this course, plants and plant groups are studied as basic design elements in the landscape. Instruction emphasizes the arrangement of plant materials for defining, sequencing, and articulating space. Ecological and cultural contexts are examined as determinants for sharply focused design concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good graphics, nice enlargements, and good use of callout style. Companion plants with chill hours are great. Very impressive, effective, and professional. Design is beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malibu Creek State Park Visitor’s Center<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Student: Holly Cory<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healing garden at the Sisters of Social Service Retreat Center honors the site\u2019s legacy of compassion, justice, and care for women, children, and the greater community. Rooted in the Benedictine tradition and inspired by the Universal elements of AIR, WATER, EARTH, FIRE and SPACE, the design invites both public and private reflection through a series of interconnected spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thoughtful, thorough work with proper photo credits, a lovely knot garden at the center, a nice key plan, and perspectives that convey scale. Clear vision and lots of care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Extravagant Welcome Plant Redesign for the Holy Spirit Retreat Center <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Student: Kristin Byrd<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The big idea of my garden is to extend an extravagant welcome to anyone who visits, to extend hospitality with a nourishing garden and place for reflection and recovery with healing gardens and water features. The gardens are a place of abundance, with healthy foods grown on site to be enjoyed during community gatherings. The gardens rely primarily on California native plants to create an inviting setting for both people, birds, and wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCASLA Achievement Award<\/h6>

A beautiful\u2014if somewhat esoteric\u2014big idea, presented with a highly effective opening spread: tree knowledge, sizing, and usage that go beyond blooms show real planting-design understanding. The tight palette, clean circles aligned to graphs, and professional, guidebook-quality pages make the set feel \u201cdone for us\u201d in the best way\u2014concise and compelling. Groupings are strong, 1\/4\u2033 plant callouts are helpful. The section is charming. The three maintenance sheets are a smart inclusion, and overall the package invites the viewer to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCASLA Excellence Award<\/h6>

Clear, well-read site analysis and a thorough, conceptual approach beyond simple bubbles, supported by beautiful imagery and effective existing photos. The narrative from photo to plants to plan works, and the renderings\u2014especially the immersive perspective\u2014bring us into the space; overall graphics are engaging and a pleasure to interact with. Lots of work here\u2014creative, pretty, and graphically strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sisters of Social Service Planting Plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Student: Zoe Marans<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by the Sisters of Social Service’s commitment to welcoming diverse people, this design uses the universe as a guiding theme to convey unity, acceptance, and spiritual healing, universal human challenges and experiences. The Celestial Garden is composed of three distinct areas: the Zen gardens for quiet contemplation in which all plants have a secondary purpose either culturally, medicinally, or edible; the Water gardens to promote energy and vitality among visitors while providing habitat for local wildlife; and the Nourishing gardens with citrus groves, raised beds, espaliered walkways, and an herbal tea meadow, which offer a therapeutic gardening experience and providing food for residents and visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
