  What is a Plant Designer?

Interior landscape professionals are called plant designers, plantscapers, interiorscapers, or in less formal settings 'scapers. Most often this person is called a plant designer.

Designing with live foliage requires a combination of horticultural and design expertise. Plant designers make decisions on the planter style, plant variety, scale, and light conditions. On new construction projects plant designers usually work under the direction of the architect, interior designer, or general contractor. Plant designers often have educational backgrounds in design or horticulture.
