Some people think that the rational sciences and creative arts are worlds apart.
But landscape architecture is a field of study that merges them beautifully. The science of landscape architecture is concerned with conserving and managing natural resources. Its art involves creating more enjoyable, comfortable, and safe outdoor areas in places where the natural environment must be adapted for human use. Professional landscape architects are part of the tradition of the great garden designers of Italy, France, England, and China. Their work encompasses the art and science of designing, planning and managing the land.
