Landscape designs need to focus not only on what is on the outside but also on how plants interact with the buildings they surround. By putting interesting and colorful plants near windows, people inside can enjoy the landscaping almost as much as those outside. Strategic placement of larger plants can create shade for windows, helping to lower energy costs on hot summer days. Care should be taken though not to obstruct views entirely, defeating the purpose of a window. Designs should also keep in mind that plants will get larger over time. The interesting shrub today might be a window-blocking nuisance a few years later.
