Cambridge Campus Entryway

Offshoots was brought on for design garden improvements and new planting strategies for 3 University campus buildings along Memorial Drive. Throughout the design process, Offshoots collaborated with campus maintenance faculty to ensure the new planting strategies were informed by the school’s previous planting and maintenance efforts. The new planting design prioritized creating a showy display for the school’s upcoming commemoration, and includes several late-spring-blooming perennials and bulbs including Allium, Salvia, and ornamental grasses. There was also a strong focus on creating seasonal interest throughout the year. Plantings were selected to ensure continuous blooms from spring through summer, to provide striking fall foliage, and to provide interest in winter.
