It’s a concept that informs how we arrange species in our planting schemes. Naturalistic planting design is far more successful\, both in terms of aesthetics and sustainability\, when this concept is taken into account.\n\nThis online workshop\, split over two days\, will present the theory behind the concept\, it’s origins and how you can use that theory to estimate a perennial's sociability status. In the second part of the workshop you will present a small palette of plants that you regularly use and discuss what sociability status you now consider it to have.\n\nAs with all my workshops there is theory\, practice and discussion so that the ideas get a well rounded articulation. You will leave the workshop with the knowledge of how a plant's individual characteristics can inform how best to arrange them within a scheme. This is a step away from distributing plants based on purely aesthetic principles\, although some of those are also integrated into the sociability status.\n\n
