Designing outdoor spaces

Landscape gardening is the art and practice of designing and cultivating outdoor spaces for aesthetic effect, combining elements like plants, pathways, water features, and structures to create pleasing environments.

It differs from ordinary gardening in its emphasis on overall visual composition and the relationship between natural and built elements.

A landscape gardener may work on anything from small residential yards to large estates and public parks.
