The Honey Locust Savanna

In 2008 we created two biotope plantings in the city park of Laholm inspired by the biomes from North Eastern North America. The Honey Locust Savanna with sparse groves of trees and a understory of savanna and prairie forbs is located on a west facing slope in the park.

First contribution

Welcome to this new blog about naturalistic landscaping. It's my aim to publish pictures and brief essential information from my landscaping projects. I also hope my blog will cause an eagerness and increased curiosity about biotope design and dynamic plantings among gardeners and landscapers all over the world.
