Advanced Planting Plan Presentations for Busy Landscape Professionals
Create professional planting plans without expensive software.
Many landscape professionals are experts in plants. They work with plants every day, see them change and grow through the seasons and know what works where; especially within their local climate.
But when a client asks them for their suggestions for an empty border, they can be hit by a wall of frustration and embarrassment. Sketching down a design onto a piece of paper, plants all perfectly chosen and positioned, something seems to be missing…. The drawing looks clunky and immature. The handwriting is bad, the lines are uneven, the colours harsh.
Looking online at professional landscape architects’ drawings, it seems that in order to make your plans look better - client presentation worthy - you first have to purchase eye-wateringly expensive software, and then spend hours tearing your hair out, trying to learn how to use it. There has to be a better way!
I’ve been working with such landscape professionals, and have found a quick, easy solution to such a problem. With them, I have created a template for drawing professional, client-ready plans using software that is easy and free!
This method is relevant and usable no matter which country or climate you work in. You can add in your own local planting palettes to use across multiple projects.
Don’t waste time with expensive, complicated software or trawling the Internet trying to find tutorials that end up not being relevant for your work.
