Landscape Management: Course Description

This course provides the basics of landscaping, including how to maintain the greenscape, the living parts of the landscape, effectively.

In this OpenCourseWare offered by Utah State University (USU)'s School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences in Logan, Utah, students discover the reasons for landscapes, such as beauty, entertainment and spirituality. Students also learn to identify the components of a landscape. The course then covers potential problems in landscape management and how to solve them.
