Landscape design can be de ned as organizing and enriching outdoor space by placing plants and structures in an agreeable and useful relationship with the natural environment. Designing landscapes is an art. Merely planting trees and shrubs is not landscaping. Landscaping is creating a plan to make the best use of available space in the most attractive way. It means shaping the land to make the most of a site’s natural features and advantages, and it includes building such necessary structures as fences, walls and patios. Finally, landscaping involves selecting and growing plants that best fit the design. The Landscape and Horticulture fuses the creative aspects of art and design with the technical and scienti c aspects of horticulture.
