Planting scheme

 As part of one of my modules I need to create a planting scheme for different areas. For this I have created a series of mixes which aim to provide different effects to the landscape. There is one mix which aims to provide pollinators with food all year round, with at least 2 plants being in bloom at some point during the year.

Part of my thinking for the site is to provide users of the site a reason to go outside all year round, this includes during the winter. I have achieved this through having areas of planting which bloom all year round and with some elements of foraging.

 For this I have used a program called plant partner which is a database for plants.

Therefore I believe within the st aidens design the base of it will be a lily as they have 6-7 petals.

Budget for Tatton

Final zoning Diagram

  I have created a functional diagram for the site, this will allow for me to create a more detailed masterplan. I have sectioned each area around a central point, which will be a meeting point for users. The site will have many nods to butterflies, which is my concept. The play areas will be really colourful and hopefully give some more character to the site.
