This was a very concise article on how to get more information on landscape design. How you do it depends on what you are looking for.
If you are just looking to get plant ideas and info, browsing around in nurseries is not only fun but extremely informative. Going to a stone yard will allow you to see hardscape samples in person. Many places will let you bring some samples home to see how a particular material looks at your property.
For example, if you are installing a new patio, take the sample (a few is even better) and place it next to your house. Does it compliment the material on your residence…or does it look just awful?!
Sometimes you might even be interested in a career in Landscape Architecture. If you want to know what that is all about, you can visit Landscape Architecture Education to read about it.
