From courtyard to mansion: Debunking the design process behind a sustainable garden - Kitti Kovacs Garden Design
In this seminar, we explore the fascinating journey from simple courtyard gardens to expansive mansion landscapes, focusing on the sustainable design principles that underpin them. Sustainable gardening is no longer a niche interest but an essential component of modern landscaping. From small urban spaces to grand estates, the design process behind creating a sustainable garden can vary significantly, but the core principles remain the same: environmental stewardship, resource conservation, and creating spaces that harmonize with nature.
Our discussion will cover the foundational steps in designing a sustainable garden, starting with the selection of native plants, water-efficient irrigation systems, and eco-friendly materials. We will also dive into how to incorporate renewable resources, such as solar lighting and rainwater harvesting, while ensuring aesthetic appeal. Special attention will be given to the unique challenges and opportunities that arise when transitioning from small-scale courtyard designs to larger, more complex mansion gardens.
The seminar will also highlight real-world case studies, showcasing successful transformations of residential outdoor spaces into sustainable havens. By debunking myths and addressing common misconceptions, we aim to empower designers and homeowners alike with the knowledge to create sustainable, beautiful outdoor environments.
Whether you're an aspiring landscape designer, a garden enthusiast, or simply curious about the intersection of sustainability and landscaping, this seminar will provide valuable insights into the design process behind a truly sustainable garden.
