Imagine a big empty space outside, like a park or a yard. When someone decides they want to turn that space into a nice-looking garden with flowers and trees, they need to think about how to use the space properly.
In landscape design, space is all about how things are arranged in the garden to make it look pretty and be functional. Different things can be put in the space, like grass, flowers, bushes, rocks or trees, and they can be arranged in different ways.
For example, some flowers need to be planted in a sunny spot, and other plants do better in shade. Landscapers need to make sure they put the right thing in the right spot so that it will grow well and look good. They also need to make sure there's enough room for everything to grow properly without getting too crowded.
Space can make a garden look big and open, or small and cozy. Sometimes, they add pathways that are made of different materials like concrete, gravel or cobblestone so that people can walk through the garden without trampling on the grass.
Thinking about space when designing a landscape is crucial because it helps create a beautiful garden that is functional, easy to navigate, and that makes people feel good when they look at it.
