| Description | BUT ISN'T IT JUST... LIKE... GARDENS?
Well, actually… Landscape architecture is the making of environment that meets the aspirations and needs of human, wildlife, and other biological processes on earth. It encompasses a broad spectrum of practices from design of streetscapes to restoration of habitats and ecosystems. Landscape architects are, in a sense, architects of the landscape–the landscape that encompasses both natural and social realms, urbanity and wilderness, land, water and air. They design for people and communities, for plants and animals, to support social and natural processes, and to protect human and environmental assets.
