The use of plant compositions for areas with a short period of insolation

Abstract

Recent studies in the field of sustainable urban planning focus on the plant component, favoring the implementation and conservation of plant material at the highest possible level of quality and performance. In order to better understand the ideology of using dendrological and flowering plants in areas with low insolation, we resorted to their use in a proposal to arrange a private garden. The paper aims to present the methods of arranging private or public gardens taking into account, at the time of design, the needs and requirements of the beneficiary and also the elaboration of a proposal in case the space that is going to be arranged has atypical characters. Here reference is made to the way of designing spaces in which the degree of sunlight is reduced and involves treating them as spaces with semi-shade or shade. In the foreground of this work is the way we use shade and semi-shade plants and how the spaces that benefit from a low degree of insolation are capitalized and integrated.
