This lofty philosophy had not greater advocate than Walt Disney, whose view of the Disneyland
experience was to create a completely involving and realistic setting in which guests were a part of
an encompassing show. “To achieve the right effect,” Walt said, “our Disneyland landscape
architects combined their talents with those of builders and maintenance personnel and created a
believable and authentic scene of nature’s own design.”

His forthright approach and innate understanding of how landscaping fit into the art of place-
making was a talent that must have not only pleased Walt aesthetically, but was a godsend to his
evolving design and construction of Disneyland.
