                HARDSCAPES IN THE LANDSCAPE

Bill Reeve is leading off with a presentation focusing on landscape features many of us include in our gardens and that very often lay the groundwork for the overall landscape design.  



Landscape Architect, Bill Reeve, will discuss the role that hardscape design and selection play in the overall plan of a residential project. He will review the most commonly used hardscape elements such as swimming pools, patios/walkways, water features, arbors/trellises and art in the landscape.
Understanding the order of design and the impact of each hardscape design decision and its relationship with the landscape will be the main focus of this lecture.                         

William H. Reeve IV is the president of Botanical Visions, Inc.

He has over twenty-six years of experience in the design/horticulture trade in the South Florida region. He promoted the extension program, and has served on various professional organization boards and communities. He worked closely with the Children Services Council staff on various aspects of the development of the Parenting Education Center. Bill is nationally certified in landscape design by the Association of Professional Landscape Designers. Botanical Visions, Inc. received the Landscape Excellence Award for 2010 in Boca Raton.  Bill’s presentation will show how we can artfully integrate hardscape elements into the design of our own gardens.
