Program
in the Comparative Analysis of Constructed Landscape in England
and the Midwestern USA
This program
is an intensive analysis of landscape systems in the US and England.
The purpose is to compare and contrast the two cultures through
their landscapes and perhaps gain a greater understanding of each.
The analysis includes an assessment of landscape systems (gardening,
design, installation, and maintenance of ornamental plants and
turf) in the US through reading, discussions, visits, and interviews.
A parallel analysis, as well as some experiential learning of
how some landscapes are developed, is done in England.
