Course content
The discipline is a basic discipline related to the latest innovations in landscape design of urban areas. Its place in the system of other disciplines is most consistent with the acquisition of the necessary skills by students majoring in "Horticulture", which is designed to equip students with specific knowledge about ways of effective and rational aesthetic and environmental optimization. urbanized landscapes, deliberately, purposefully created by man to perform certain socio-economic functions, or arose as a result of unintentional changes in natural landscapes. . Acquired knowledge should help the specialist at the modern level to use the useful properties of the landscape, its potential to meet the diverse needs of society.
