ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITIES
TEMPERATURE, WATER AND SOIL are themajor limiting factors to plant distribution.
The greatest variety exists in the tropics,the least in the arctic
Native and indigenous plants are thoseassociated with specific regions

GROUNDCOVER PLANTS- are
defined as low-growing,prostrate, surface-coveringplants which can be used forerosion control on slopes or tomake a pattern to be seenfrom above, as in a parterre.

Such plants have low-
maintenance needs andabsorb heat, moisture anddust, and control erosion.Groundcovers vary in form, leafsize, color and texture.

VINES- some vines need
support, others twine or cling.Combined with a overheadstructure, vines can providedelightful shaded areas. Manyvines have conspicuousflowers, others are leafy greenor deciduous types.

DESIGN POTENTIAL
Plants should never be used
simply to fill leftover spaces.plants are structural just as
paving is.
Shrub plantings and hedgescan enclose areas ad screenout unwanted views.

Spreading vines on trellises ortrees can give a canopy orceiling effect
The classic avenue is also anexample of the use of planting
Circulation can also beemphasized by planting

Shrubs can be strategically
placed to indicate edges, toaccent junctions, to emphasizedirectional lines, or to act asphysical barrier.
Erosion control is an extremelyimportant function of plants

Another function of plant is in

AESTHETICS
The geometric arrangement of
planting which has in itself anaesthetic appeal, designquality involving color, textureand form.

COLOR- an attribute of plants
provided by all of their parts-leaves, flowers, fruits, twigs,branches and bark. The effectsare seasonal, and thereforesubject to change.

The characteristics are furthercomplicated by other variablesfrom the outdoors, weather, lightand shade. The crudest theory ofharmony and contrast in the useof color and texture is aconsideration in landscapedesign.

TEXTURE- variations such as size and
form of the leaves, how are they
attached to the twigs, and how the
twigs are subtended by the
branches are responsible for
differences in texture. Even thesurface quality of the leaf or bark
(shiny or matte) is important.
