Selecting appropriate plants for a site, the conditions presented, and ensuring those plants can thrive is known as plant specification, and for each site, there will be plants that are suitable and plants that are not. As well as selecting the right plants, a horticulturalist needs to understand what the plant needs and how to provide this most sustainably. They should understand how to plant different plants, how they are delivered, the checks required, and care for plants once they are planted. Plant knowledge ensures a horticulturalist can specify the correct plants. ‘Right plant, right place’ is an old adage but one which is as relevant today as it ever was. Topic 4 Plant Specification
