ARE YOU AN ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY GARDEN DESIGNER?
If you’ve been following a shenanigans in Copenhagen over a past integrate of weeks afterwards it’s unavoidable we will have been meditative about your own CO footprint as well as as a grassed area designer, which equates to meditative about a CO footprint upon clients too.
They might have set their hearts upon which Indian sandstone which seems to usually glisten in a object though can we (or they) unequivocally clear transporting outlandish landscaping materials half-way around a universe usually to prove an cultured whim? Similarly, can we unequivocally clear a have use of of hardwoods, which take centuries to mature, when a softwood would do a same pursuit as well as can be transposed in half which time?
As grassed area designers, we have a shortcoming to have a right choices for both a clients as well as a own consciences. And it’s no great arguing classification loci – a pattern judgment which refers to a unequivocally hint or suggestion of a place – since actually, if we unequivocally consider about it, what is Indian mill we do in a Cotswold grassed area or a London terraced street?
If that’s not sufficient to convince we to convince your clients to source their hard-lanscaping materials locally, afterwards get them to consider about a other, mostly hidden, political, amicable as well as environmental implications of alien products. How has which Indian mill been quarried or which hard wood been logged? Can we be positively certain kid work has played no part? What has been a stroke of which routine – together with wickedness – upon an already environmentally-sensitive landscape?
 More as well as some-more of us – designers as well as contractors both – have been right away creation some-more environmentally-friendly choices when selecting a landscaping materials as well as that’s a direction which is usually set to enlarge over a subsequent decade.
