Front Yard Design

Garden design is the art and the process of designing and creating development plans and the planting of gardens and landscapes. Garden design can be done by the owner's own gardens, or by professionals of different levels of expertise. More professional garden designers are trained in the principles of design and horticulture, and have extensive knowledge and experience in the use of plants.

Some professional garden designers are also landscape architects, a more formal level of training that usually requires an advanced degree and often a state license. Many amateur gardeners also attain a high level of experience of working long hours in their own gardens, through casual study, a serious study at the Master Gardener program, or joining a garden club.

Garden owners have shown increasing interest in garden design during the late twentieth century, as lovers of gardening, a hobby as well as the extensive use of professional garden designers.
