Can landscape design help in creating a sense of place?

Yes, landscape design can help in creating a sense of place. By carefully selecting and arranging plants, materials, and features, landscape designers can create an environment that reflects the local climate, culture, and aesthetic preferences. The use of natural and vernacular materials, local plant species, and cultural references can help connect people to their surrounding landscape and create a strong sense of place. Additionally, landscape design can be used to reinforce the identity of a community, highlight unique features and landmarks, and enhance the overall quality of life.
