What is garden design?

At the root, garden design and landscape design are the same.

Ask specifically what it does, the simplest answer is: everything except architecture is done by landscape architects (or gardeners), which shows that its coverage is much more than architectural design. Micro-scale landscape design: courtyard design, villa design, area is only tens or hundreds of square meters; meso-scale landscape design: park design, square design, residential area design, theme park design, waterfront design, historical district design Etc., the area ranges from a few hectares to hundreds of hectares; macro-scale planning: tourist area planning, national park planning, and even land and resources planning, the area unit is measured in square kilometers.

It can be seen that the design objects of landscape architects are all-encompassing. As long as it is outdoor and beautiful, it is the object of landscape design (garden design). However, because it is too broad, the entry threshold for majors is low. Therefore, it is now popular to combine planning with landscape, and combine ecology with landscape, so that the landscape profession has more theoretical support and scientific components, and has become an irreplaceable member of the design industry. At the same time, due to the rise of landscape urbanism, the trend of landscape-led architecture has become popular. Landscape architects will become the backbone and leadership core of the planning and design industry in the next 20 years.
