Landscaping around the Darwin D. Martin House, Buffalo, NY
The landscaping in this photo shows a mix of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants. Although lush and green, it is entirely managed and has no wild components. Even the lawn is a monoculture of a single grass type. Such managed landscapes are taking up an increasing portion of the land in our society, which is a cause for alarm both as it leaves fewer places for wild plants to reproduce, and because such landscapes require considerable resources to maintain.
