Nature, culture and landscape design combine in the context of contemporary lifestyles, issues and priorities. Professionals in this sphere are much in demand as city dwellers respond to contemporary needs to match cultural priorities with natural things.
The word 'nature' in English connotes an attitude of respect, admiration or awe. This is because poets of the Romantic group write extensively about a spiritual essence that they believed was being threatened by the Industrial Revolution. Even before the Romantics, Shakespeare thought of things that were 'against the use of nature' as being ungodly, whilst the 'natural order' of things was perceived to be what God ordained.
To a certain extent the environmental movement grew out of the cultural soil prepared by the Romantics. Concern about the state of the environment grew as urbanization resulted in people living in cities and as mass media caught onto and disseminated the notion of sustainable development. Globally, the importance of trees and plants in urban environments is well understood.
The majority of people now live in cities where they are cut off from the natural things that are so highly valued. This is where landscaping skills makes their entrance as important players. Urban spaces can be planned so that plants, animals and water become integrated in the lives of city dwellers.
Such developments are not confined to large urban space but may also be applied within gardens or even apartments. If the principles of proportion, unity and balance are applied to any space it begins to approach art. Focus and repetition are natural aspects of nature, often replicated in art. They can also be applied in urban gardens to enhance the surrounds of a home and improve the quality of life of all living in it.
Landscape design takes skill and expertise. It is well worthwhile calling on the help of experts to produce a good plan before undertaking the work of transforming a nondescript patch into an interesting and inviting garden. Online sites give great amounts of relevant information. It is even possible to download software that will produce plans that implement the principles of design according to specifications supplied.
