PRINCESS PINE TEST PLOT

LOCATION: W. Peterborough, NH

PROJECT TIMELINE: 2010 - present

SCOPE OF WORK: Design, installation and maintenance

TEAM: Princess Pine LLC (landscape designer, installation & maintenance)

PROJECT OVERVIEW: The Test Plot is a garden for horticultural research and experimentation, propagation and seed saving. Emphasis is on low input, naturalized perennials; dense/intensive and site responsive planting to exploit microclimate; and enhanced biodiversity, wildlife habitat and year round, successive aesthetic interest. Within the Test Plot, close observation and haptic engagement allows an intimate understanding of plant architecture, habit/gesture/behavior, and tolerances for varied site conditions in increasingly warming, erratic weather, as plants index ground, exposure and atmosphere.
