Focus areas
Plant blindness
Plant blindness describes the tendency to overlook plants in everyday environments. In landscape architecture, reducing plant blindness can support stronger public attention to biodiversity, vegetation, and ecological systems.
Climate adaptation and mitigation
I’m interested in how landscape architecture can contribute to climate adaptation and mitigation through water-sensitive design, resilient planting, and nature-based solutions.
Nature-based solutions
I believe nature holds important solutions for climate and environmental challenges, and I’m interested in applying nature-based principles in garden and landscape design.
Garden design (summer project)
In summer 2026, Ylva runs an independent garden design project (outside her university programme), offering planting plans and practical garden design advice. For inquiries, contact her via LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ylva-hognestad-b1aa41242
