Naturalistic Planting | Part 1: What’s the value of nature in the city anyway?

It might be hard to measure, but we know interacting with nature has an impact on our emotions – and that’s never been more apparent in cities during lockdown. But does the kind of planting we encounter in urban environments matter? Are planned and cultivated spaces what we need, or could we be craving ‘wilder’, less predictable landscapes that fully immerse us in nature?
In Part 1 of a mini-series investigating naturalistic planting in our urban environments, @jonhazelwood01 joins @westphyto director of Phyto studio and co-author of Planting in a Post-Wild World – and @thehighlineguy, co-founder and CEO of The High Line, about planting the seeds for a deeper, more fulfilling relationship with nature, whatever the space, scale or budget.
