1·Lectures on planting: One Material

Thursday 31 March 2016, 20:00 - 21:30 hrs.
Academy of Architecture
Waterlooplein 211-213
1011 PG Amsterdam

The character of a public space is strongly influenced by the choice of planting. Furthermore, it has been found that the right choice of planting greatly increases the habitat of birds and bees in the city. Questions such as ‘how does a gardener make a planting plan?’ will be answered during this 1·Lectures and historical and contemporary planting in the city for aesthetics and biodiversity will be discussed. Guest speaker is grower Brian Kabbes.
