3. Planting design is the art of composing plants to
create a design. This is usually an aspect of
garden design, which includes paving design,
landform design, water features and the design of
vertical and horizontal structures.

4. A NATIVE PLANTS IS ONE THAT OCCURS NATURALLY IN A
PARTICULAR REGION . ECOSYSTEM OR HABITAT WITHOUT DIRECT OR
INDIRECT HUMAN INTERVENTION
OR
PLANTS THAT HAVE DEVELOPED OCCUR NATURALLY OR EXISTED
FOR MANY YEARS IN AN AREA INCLUDE [ TREES FLOWERS GRASSES
AND OTHER PLANTS
NATIVE PLANTS
5. RESOURCE CONSERVATION:
NATIVE PLANTS DO NOT NEED A LOT OF EXTRA WATER. THEY ARE DROUGHT RESISTANT.
SAVE ON THE USE OF FERTILIZERS AND PESTICIDES:
NATIVE PLANTS DO NOT NEED PESTICIDES. THEY ARE ALREADY ACCLIMATED TO INSECT POPULATIONS AND CAN TAKE CARE OF
THEMSELVES,
INSECTS NEED THEM TO SURVIVE.
AS ALREADY MENTIONED: 90% OF INSECTS DEPEND ON NATIVE PLANTS FOR THEIR SURVIVAL. 37% OF ANIMAL SPECIES EAT
HERBIVOROUS INSECTS.
NATIVE PLANTS IN LANDSCAPES WILL STOP THE DESERTIFICATION OF CASCADIA.
HABITAT FRAGMENTATION IS A HAZARD TO WILDLIFE. BRINGING NATIVES BACK WILL STOP THE ECOSYSTEM
COLLAPSE. NATIVE PLANTS PROVIDE FOOD, WATER, AND HABITAT FOR WILDLIFE
PLANTS ARE THE ONLY THING
ON THE PLANET THAT CAN HARVEST THE SUN¡¯S ENERGY AND CREATE THEIR OWN FOOD.
NATIVE PLANTS CAN BE USED TO RESTORE OUR LAND.
THEY EASILY ADAPT TO HARSH CONDITIONS AND HAVE BEEN USED IN THE REPAIR OF STREAMS, MEADOWS, SAVANNAHS,
FORESTS, AND OTHER FRAGILE LANDSCAPES
NATIVE LANDSCAPES TEND TO REQUIRE LESS CARE, LESS WATER, AND FEWER INPUTS BECAUSE THE PLANTS HAVE EVOLVED TO
SURVIVE AND EVEN FLOURISH IN THE EXTREMES OF A PARTICULAR REGION OR ZONE
REASONS ON WHY NATIVE PLANTS ARE IMPORTANT
20. TREE AND SHRUB PLANTING
Four different categories of planting have been identified: street, lawn, residential, and
pit. These methods each represent a condition that is far different from estate
planting,
The primary difference in these categories is the amount of soil space available to the
tree. A great deal is known about the way trees grow and the requirements of growth.
Most roots of trees are very small, ranging in size from a pencil thickness to a hair. These
are the feeder roots that absorb and transmit nutrients and moisture to the plant. These
roots grow up toward the surface to form mats in the first few inches of soil and grow and
die back
When choosing a location for new trees, consider their size 5, 10, or 25 years from
now. Where trees already exist, consider whether the location of proposed improvements
may restrict growth
21. PRESERVATION OF TREES
A Tree Preservation is an order made by a local planning to protect
specific trees, groups of trees or woodlands in the interests of
amenity. An Order prohibits the:
cutting down
topping
lopping
uprooting
wildful damage
wildlful destruction
of trees without the local planning authority¡¯s
22. PHYTROMEDIATION
Phytoremediation¡ªIT is a process using plants to clean up site contamination¡ª
phytoaccumulation, is a type of phytoremediation that relies on plants¡¯ natural
capacity to absorb and incorporate specific materials into their tissues. Some plants
are efficient collectors of metals such as lead, mercury, or nickel,
Phytodegradation, is the metabolism of plants to decompose certain contaminants
once they are absorbed. Some plants produce various enzymes and acids that cause
the decomposition of contaminants;
