When I first started here 8 years ago Lionel was keen I obtained some practical horticultural experience to compliment my architectural degree and referred me to Hilliers where I worked Part Time in their big tree nursery while also starting at Terra Firma.\u00a0So I am very familiar with the large tree transplanting process and how very satisfying\u00a0 it is! <!--more-->Here I had\u00a0\u00a0the chance to \u00a0appreciate a lot of\u00a0topiary, grafted, pollarded, pleached trees\u00a0\u00a0as well as\u00a0witnessing the context of\u00a0neat and carefully arranged private gardens and communal landscapes. This all, I guess,\u00a0matches the country\u2019s attitude towards land \u2013 if something is needed, that does not exist, they can build it, and make it look good too.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_584\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-584\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Pleached-trees.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-584\" title=\"Pleached trees\" src=\"http:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Pleached-trees-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Pleached trees in Holland\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Pleached-trees-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Pleached-trees.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-584\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pleaching commonly appearing in many front gardens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Any theme or style I saw, did not strike me as being overly used and repeated\u00a0across\u00a0many gardens (if pollarding and pleaching trees as well as topiary is not considered) or have a unifying style, except that one that could be associated with the country\u2019s overall look.<\/p>\n<p>But then\u00a0speaking\u00a0to a nurserymen\u00a0, a\u00a0 different story behind those gardens\u00a0 becomes\u00a0 apparent. People are very responsive to fashion trends when buying trees,\u00a0therefore\u00a0nursery stock is very much affected by this. Amongst trees considered as a matter of fashion\u00a0there were cedars (currently not en vogue), ornamental trees, horse\u00a0chestnuts, even oaks!<\/p>\n<p>When designing in UK, trees\u00a0are rarely something I would consider as a fashion element,\u00a0although it probably is among the garden design fraternity. We are more likely to be swayed by latest information on climate change or disease resistance.\u00a0It is the ornamental shrubs,\u00a0grasses, shapes and materials that are easily associated with trends in garden design, rather than magnificent trees, such as cedars and oaks, which to my mind are the legacy of \u00a0stability in the surrounding changing world \u2013 quite\u00a0opposite\u00a0to the dynamics of the fashion. Interestingly, I recently came across the article in Garden design magazine, where Tim Richardson was also investigating the rationale behind the trends in gardening and concluded that \u2018it is about the state of mind\u2019, and each country has its own of course.<span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>For the above reasons (and no doubt many others) the way Dutch people shape their landscape\u00a0is different to typical\u00a0British\u00a0landscape\u00a0scenery \u2013 what a good way to appreciate different Genius Loci when travelling. Nevertheless the landscape in Netherlands\u00a0is inspiring with it\u2019s neat shapes, uniform tree avenues (made of poplars that are planted with intention to be chopped eventually) and a close\u00a0attention\u00a0to detail that I find very appealing.<span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Lastly, my discovery of a tree was the \u2018swing-tree\u2019, which is intended to be popular in the garden schemes (platanus hispanica, roof-top shape \u2013 see pic). It takes good 12 or so years to shape it to look this way. The fashion better\u00a0not change faster than that!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_585\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-585\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
