I'm always interested in seeing what businesses are doing with their landscaping. I am on my local beautification board and one of our annual tasks is judging commercial properties for awards. Unfortunately, we don't have many that look as nicely as this one.
Well, I think it COULD be a little more imaginative but it's a start. Begonias en masse don't do much for me. Are those dark things phormiums or cordylines; I have trouble distinguishing those.
ps have you thought of garden design for your next job?
Phillip you should do a post about your beatification board work. That would be an interesting topic.
The backbone of trees and shrubs of this landscape in an office complex was really quite good. It seems the newer developements may be under more landscape ordinances than older projects or the way things get done are changing. Some of the older strip mall stores in the area are nothing but huge blocks of asphalt for parking without a single plant at all. In the summer they were awful.
I liked the Phormiums and the Alocasias. It feels odd to see such tropicals growing outside here, especially when I know it is about to get cold. The begonias and Coleus were kinda blah, but were done in huge swaths which helped.
Bev Landscape Design would be a continuation of my career of the last twenty years. I have looked into the licensing and certifications I would need to hang out my shingle here in NC.
That's pretty nice for a business landscape. But it doesn't look like Asheville. It looks more like your old home state of Hawaii to me.
I like the elephant ears and the purple spiky stuff, but the flowers look odd to me...like it just doesn't go together or something. Not ugly really, just off. Certainly not the least attractive planting I've seen at a business, though.
