«New perspectives: on-site design and care of perennials»
We are pleased to present Dr. Cassian Schmidt’s presentation on very low maintenance perennial strategies.
C. Schmidt is a world-renowned specialist whose work is also followed by Piet Oudolf himself and other world-renowned landscape architects. His scientific research on perennials and their strategies is radically changing the way we think about perennials, how they should be selected, planted and cared for. In some cases Cassian Schmidt’s approach is truly revolutionary, but in others it seems to speak elementary truths. The author’s report is full of careful calculations and tables, which are worth examining more carefully. Video recording of this ad allows you to do just that – you can stop and take a closer look at any time.
