Botanical Landscape Design

This module will introduce students to the purpose and potential of botanic gardens, by providing students an opportunity to apply fundamental knowledge of botany and horticulture/soils to botanic garden design and management. Botanic gardens can collect, display and maintain a diversity of plants for conservation, education and research, for example: endangered plant species such as orchids or endemic plant species from the region, heirloom vegetable seeds such as traditional bean crops no longer common, or traditional medicinal plants for healing.
