Landscape gardening is the art and practice of designing outdoor spaces to enhance their beauty and functionality. It involves planning and arranging various elements such as plants, trees, shrubs, and flowers to create visually appealing environments. Landscape gardeners consider factors like climate, soil type, and the intended use of the space when designing gardens, parks, and other outdoor areas. In addition to plant selection, landscape gardening may include the installation of features like paths, patios, and water elements. These features help to create a cohesive design that complements the natural surroundings while providing spaces for relaxation and recreation.
