This Garden Design and Landscaping Course lays the foundations for the planning and design of outdoor spaces, based on a combination of landscaping and architecture. The landscaping It has been regarded as one of the most important artistic disciplines since ancient times, as it allows us to convey a message and evoke different emotions in those who experience and pass through it. It is a matter of analysing the space we are working with, and then cultivating and combining different plants in a harmonious and creative way, creating decorative features that transform a nondescript outdoor space into a dreamlike setting where nature and architectural elements interact in a beautiful and orderly manner.
