The landscaper or landscape
Installer:
The word landscaper and landscaping seems to be
a general slang term used in the industry making
it particularly difficult to pinpoint exactly what
their expertise are, but generally should refer only
to installations of gardens. The Landscape
installer on the other hand describes more
precisely what they are proficient in. Landscape
and or garden installations. It is important to note
that they are not Landscape Designers, Landscape
Architects or Horticulturists unless they have
done the appropriate studies as above. By
completing a Landscape Design Course, installers
are able to widen their field of expertise and
become more turnkey.
The Gardener and gardening
The Gardener or Gardening refers to all of the above, but on a micro scale, at a leisurely level, as a hobby
and mostly only for yourself. It is restricted to residential property and talent or skill may even be shared
amongst friends, but not done or performed as a profession or career receiving remuneration. In this case
the unique ability of the nature of Design and Gardening allows individuals to experiment and have fun on
their own property. Short courses and parcel courses focusing on one aspect is aimed at enhancing results
and increasing enjoyment of personal outdoor spaces.
