Landscape Architect Alistair Baldwin describes the design work set with in the grounds of Raby Castle, Park and Gardens.

Is there a difference between garden design and landscape architecture? The blurring of boundaries and creating delight at a commercial garden-based venue.    The challenges and opportunities of working with reclaimed materials, design with rainwater collection and irrigation. Responding to microclimatic variations with plants. Planting in a public setting – pre-empting how different user groups will use and move around a place. Circulation and movement through gardens. The designer as part of a large project team. Managing information and drawings on a large-scale project. Creating the planting plans and working with plant suppliers. Working with an in-house gardening team.
