Not applicable.
This competency standard covers the process of preparing garden designs. It requires the ability to negotiate with clients to develop a garden design brief, provide design solutions, select plants, determine irrigation requirements and oversee garden construction. It requires knowledge of plants, landscape drafting, lawns and soil preparation.
The preparation of a landscape design is likely to be undertaken without supervision. Responsibility for the work of others may be involved. It requires a broad range of horticultural skills and involves the application of underpinning knowledge with depth in some areas such as plant selection, soils, landscape design principles, drafting techniques, and communication skills.
