Plant study area 7:

Landscape inspiration:

An oak grassland where golden grasses provide a foil for inflorescence, textural and sculptural seed pods and oaks

Our design response to test:

• Homogeneous grasses as the base with random smatterings of annuals and herbacious perennials that provide seasonal interest
• Evergreen Carex praegracillis as a homogenous base for a mass of grasses, with taller, more seasonally dynamic and ethereal grasses such as Stipa pulchra and Koeleria macrantha creating a halo above
