Introduction to Landscaping (Adult). Instructor Guide.
Harris, Clark Richard; Feilner, Veronica, Ed.
This module, intended for adult instruction, is an introduction to landscaping designed to help students become familiar with landscaping terminology and concepts. The material is planned for six 2-hour classes. The first three lessons aid students in interpreting landscape plans and understanding some of the reasons for plant placement and selection. They provide a base, which may be built on through future study of plant selection and the principles of landscape design. Lessons 4 and 5 provide practical guidelines for the installation and maintenance of landscape plants. Lesson six provides an introduction into the care of turfgrass. Lessons include an introduction, objectives, student motivation, key points, detailed information (including handouts), group discussion, summary and conclusions, transparency masters, outlines, and supplementary resources and activities.
