What is Landscape Design?

• Landscape design is an independent profession
  and a design and art tradition, practiced by
  landscape designers, combining nature and
  culture. In contemporary practice, landscape
  design bridges the space between landscape
  architecture and garden design. Landscape design
  focuses on both the integrated master landscape
  planning of a property and the specific garden
  design of landscape elements and plants within
  it. Institutional education in landscape design
  appeared in the early 20th century.
