The course introduces species identification, planting design concepts, and design tools and methods. By framing the course in local ecological systems, the course eclipses the mere fundamentals of planting design resulting in students building a robust plant palette applicable to Colorado and the American West and the knowledge needed to deploy an ecologically responsive design intervention. Students are exposed to planting design methods of placemaking, embracing senescence, planting habitats, and designing for changing climates. Recommended corequisite: LAND 3100.
