A garden themed model this time. This sketchup model is made up of shapes designed to represent plants you would use in a garden. This is nothing new, just my version of it.
When working out a planting scheme in a garden it can be useful to workout how you want it to look and work, long before thinking about specific plants. By 'work' I mean that a planting layout is often about directing you to a place in the garden or an object like a statue for example. The other thing a good garden design can do is hide a bad view or if that isn't possible then it will take your attention to a good one.
One of the advantages of using a system like this is you also get an idea of what you can fit in a given area. So often people choose plants without a care of how big they may become in two years time.
So have a play with the shapes and then find the plants... have fun!

Amazed by the response so update the model as a thank you to all who have downloaded it
The original influence for this sketchup model, is a Yutube piece by Duncan Heather, Oxford College of Garden Design.
