- Scattered patterns - in scattered patterns there will be random clumps with space between
- Serpentine - this is a snake like pattern
- Mosaic - this is a pattern that is developed by patching smaller units into an overall larger pattern
- Naturalistic drift - This is a larger planting of one species that is linear or curvilinear in nature against a background of a different species.
- Dendritic - this is a branching pattern similar to a tree
- Network - in a network pattern, multiple lines intersect each other in the pattern
- Spiral - a coiling shape
- Radial - a pattern where everything radiates from a center outward
I will give examples of these in pictures in future posts.
