Small details, large impact Location, density, mediums, maintenance, and maturity are all small details that will influence the success of your designs. I find myself being inspired by the smallest of details in nature. I find the details and symmetry that can appear in plants astounding. The small elevations of surfaces, ribbed or wavy edges, and colored stems can have a large impact on a design especially when properly grouped or contrasted with opposing textures and colors. I am inspired by the natural movement in plants and how you can create feeling and emotion through plantings. Placing groups of different plants together to create sweeps of color and texture is an effect I try to use to pull the viewer to certain areas of the landscape. I find so many elements in nature to be inspiring; some of which are the lighting, color changes throughout the seasons, texture, and movement. These changes throughout the lifecycles found in nature are what truly fascinate and inspire me. My goal is to bring nature to everyday life, to change the connections we have with nature, and the respect we have for it.
