Match the following questions with their corresponding category:
What do you want the plant to do? = Functionally What do you want the plant to look like? = Aesthetically What conditions does the plant need to grow? = Environmentally How can a site inventory and analysis guide plant choices? = Environmental Requirements
Match the following concepts with their description:
Right plant in the right place = Choosing plants adapted to the location Successful planting design balance = Compromise between science and artistic expression Site inventory and analysis purpose = Guiding plant choices based on site conditions Fundamental concept of plant selection = Adapting plants to location and situation
Match the following environmental conditions with their considerations when selecting and placing plant material:
Sun and shade = Size, shape, density of foliage Dry and wet areas = Ability to thrive in growing conditions Soil type = Rate of growth Wind direction = Root mass
Match the following functions served by plants with their descriptions:
Human comfort = Plants cool air temperature and provide windbreaks Screens and barriers = Plants partially or fully screen unwanted views Soil protection = Plants provide physical barriers that prevent access Climate control = Plants modify microclimate for human comfort
Match the following visual control aspects with their effects:
Screen unwanted views = Create privacy and direct views Create privacy from outside views = Provide pleasant outdoor gathering areas Reduce glare from sunlight = Influenced by plants overhead Reduce reflected light on vertical surfaces = Plants on vertical surfaces reduce glare
Match the following physical control strategies with their descriptions:
Tall, dense plants = Provide physical barriers that prevent access Shorter, less dense plantings = Create implied barriers that separate areas Implied barriers that discourage access = Still allow views Separate areas and discourage access = Provided by wider plantings
Plants can only serve a decorative purpose in a landscape.
