Garden restoration

Posted by Joshua Handrick on February 27, 2012 at 10:38am in Design

Hello all!

I am currently a student at Sparsholt College Hampshire and studying for my BSc Garden Design.

I am just getting stuck into my dissertation and I'm hoping I can get some valuable views and feedback from you all about my topic area.

So my topic area is....

Why restore gardens? And what impact does restoring gardens have on the potential future of garden design?

And also some underlining questions for some food for thought...

  • Are restoration projects stopping the progression of garden design and should more time, money and space be dedicated for the future of garden design?
  • How successful restoration projects really are and are they worth the huge investments?
  • Where are current designers displaying their skills on a large scale and for long periods of time?
  • What will our period in garden design be called in 50-100 years’ time; will there be a blank space for our era?
  • Are we obsessed with our history and nostalgia to be able to move on and create new history?

Any views and comments are very valid and welcome, look forward to the debate.....
