Basic Principles: “Sustainability” in Context
Abstract Concern for the health of outdoor places is a central theme in landscape architecture and landscape contracting, and has been since long before “sustainability” was a word. “Stewardship” is almost the mantra of the American Society of Landscape Architects. It is a concern shared by many members of related disciplines like architecture, planning, public-lands administration, and horticulture, as well as by private gardeners. Yet in translating this concern to the materials and methods of making landscapes, there frequently seems to be a disconnect between ethical intentions and practical actions.
