Group

Woody or shrub plants planted close to one another that, according to the designer's intent, play a specific compositional role in forming the landscape of a garden or park; they are usually arranged along the edges of woodlands, on lawns and glades, and at path turns.

Woody or shrub plants planted close to one another that, according to the designer's intent, play a specific compositional role in forming the landscape of a garden or park; they are usually arranged along the edges of woodlands, on lawns and glades, and at path turns. Groups are subdivided by species composition (single-species or mixed), by size (small — 3–5 trees; large — 11 or more trees, but with an area usually not exceeding the height of the trees), and by compactness and openness (compact, bouquet plantings, open/permeable, loose plantings, etc.). One of the best examples of group design is the White Birch district in Pavlovsk.
