Garden design is the art and process of designing and creating
plans for layout and planting of gardens and landscapes. Garden
design may be done by the garden owner themselves, or by
professionals of varying levels of experience and expertise.
Most professional garden designers are trained in principles of
design and in horticulture, and have an expert knowledge and
experience of using plants. Some professional garden designers
are also landscape architects, a more formal level of training
that usually requires an advanced degree and often a state
license. Many amateur gardeners also attain a high level of
experience from extensive hours working in their own gardens,
through casual study, serious study in Master Gardener Programs,
or by joining gardening clubs.
Garden owners have shown an increasing interest in garden design
during the late twentieth century, both as enthusiasts of
gardening as a hobby, as well as an expansion in the use of
professional garden designers.
