Landscape Gardening

Landscape Gardening involves the creation of a green space using the provided materials and plants, in accordance with a detailed plan and specifications. Competitors are expected to demonstrate practical skills in soil preparation, planting, hardscaping, and layout execution. The task requires an understanding of design principles, plant care, and the ability to work efficiently and accurately. Attention to detail, creativity, and respect for environmental considerations are essential to successfully transform the plan into a visually appealing and functional outdoor space.
