Composition Tips for Wilder Gardens
Preston Montague, Landscape Architect
Spontaneous generation has long since been disproven. The ‘random’ goldenrod that appeared in your yard is the result of a complicated math equation that started with the Big Bang. Visualizing this equation and creating a sense of ordinary randomness is a one of a handful of aspirations we have for our wilder gardens. Preston will share composition ideas that he uses in his design practice to give plantings an organized, but wilder feel.
