Paragonline Landscape

Gardening, also referred to as landscaping, is the practise of nurturing plants with the intention of creating a beautiful landscape. It encompasses any action that modifies a piece of land’s outward appearance, including changes to living things like vegetation or wildlife. A landscape is composed of landforms, recognisable features, interactions between these elements, as well as other natural and man-made factors. A landscape is made up of the physical components of landforms with geophysical definition, such as (ice-capped) mountains, hills, and water bodies including rivers, lakes, ponds, and the sea. As part of the living land cover, it also includes features that were created by humans, such as various land uses, buildings, and structures, as well as transient elements like lighting and weather. Landscapes portray a living synthesis of people and place that is vital to local and national identity by combining both their physical roots and the cultural overlay of human presence, generally established over millennia.
