Speaker Presentation
Landscape Design for Today’s Reality: Emerging Trends and Innovative Products
As landscape designers, we take great pride in bringing our clients' visions to life. With the help of the internet, clients now come to us with a wealth of ideas and inspiration, making our collaborations even more exciting. Whether we are working in Toronto or elsewhere, we’ve noticed common design trends that span across regions. Weather conditions, water restrictions, and plant pests have had a significant impact on design choices this year. On the other hand, there's been a wealth of new landscape products available to designers. We're also seeing a revival of some old favourites that are making a big comeback. Landscape Ontario Designers Sector group is excited to share our insights on the latest design trends, innovative products, and our approach to shaping spaces for today’s reality.
— Lexi Dearborn CLD, Landscape Ontario Designers Sector Group Chair
