Sometime a client only wants to have a planting plan prepared for their site. A Planting Plan is a technical drawing that shows exactly what plant is planted and in what space. They come in a variety of different formats depending upon what the client and site requires and how complex the scheme is. It is important that is can be read and understood by who ever is going to do the planting. The plan is often accompanied by a Planting Schedule which is a written list of plants to procure and any additional planting notes and possibly substitution options.
