Peripheral vision and intuition is as important as direct sight in making assessments in nature.
As an author, photographer, horticulturalist, ecologist, and landscape designer, Frederick Darke believes the ability to see deeply is the most important skill any of us can bring to the enjoyment, understanding, and stewardship of private and public landscapes.
In this segment, he shares the difference between observation and vision when it comes to the natural world.
Darke also discusses the art of observation and the inspiration to be found in celebrating the non-programmed qualities of everyday places.
