Scott Beuerlein - InVigorateU 2024
Underused plants, like new introductions, keep landscapes fresh, new, and exciting for your clients. Just as importantly, maybe more so, they keep things interesting for you and your team. Learning the plants and the stories behind them is engaging to any bright mind. While it may vary from project to project, a certain percentage of every landscape should include plants that are new and even sometimes experimental. This is how you grow your plant palette and build nuance and personality into your designs. All of the plants in this talk will be somewhat to very seldom used in landscapes. All will be generally available. Some will be adaptable to a wide variety of conditions, while others will be good choices for specific sites.
