Landscape design connects many fields. It is ecological, cultural, technical, and community focused work, and it depends on a wide network of people who contribute knowledge at different stages of a project.

Why Does This Matter?

Planting design is collaborative. Each role contributes knowledge that supports plant health, ecological function, and cultural meaning. When landscape architects understand who is involved and how responsibilities intersect, they can design more resilient projects, clarify expectations, and support landscapes that thrive long after installation.
