The Fragile Balance: Reconnecting with Nature through Landscaping
In our quest for order and control, our modern landscapes have disrupted the delicate harmony of nature. Residential and recreational spaces, once teeming with native flora and organic forms, have given way to an artificial aesthetic defined by non-native plants and rigid geometric designs. To maintain this illusory ideal, we rely heavily on fossil fuel-powered equipment, chemical interventions, excessive irrigation, and relentless pruning. But is this truly natural? What does nature, in its purest form, truly look like?
