From Resource to Function

Garden plants are one of the core elements of landscape garden planning and design. From the selection of plant resources to landscape design techniques, they all directly affect the effects and benefits of plant landscapes. The results of basic research can provide support for design applications. This book systematically summarizes the author' s exploratory research and thinking on plant landscapes in the past 20 years, introduces the methods of plant landscape research and application combined with specific research results, and aims to establish a bridge between garden plant research and design applications. This book can be a reference book for undergraduate and postgraduate students in landscape architecture and environmental art to study garden plants and systematically understand plant landscape research. It can also be a reference for peers in the application of garden plants and enthusiasts conducting research in this field.
