Garden design

From Freepedia

Garden Design is the process of designing the layout and planting of domestic gardens.

Most garden designers are trained in horticulture, and have an expert knowledge of plants, their habits and their needs. Garden designers are also concerned with the layout of hardscape, including paths, water features, patios and decking.

Garden designers usually have a vocational type qualification (for instance a HND in the UK), however, anyone can call themselves a 'garden designer'. Garden designers should not be confused with Landscape Architects, who have a higher level of technical training, and are members of a regulated profession. The alternative term 'gardener' is usually applied to a labourer or hobbyist.
