'''Garden design''' is the art and process of designing and creating plans for layout and planting of [[garden|gardens]] and landscapes. Garden design may be done by the garden owner themselves, or by professionals of varying levels of experience and expertise. Most professional [[garden designer]]s have some training in horticulture and the principles of design. Some are also [[landscape architect]]s, a more formal level of training that usually requires an advanced degree and often a state license. Amateur gardeners may also attain a high level of experience from extensive hours working in their own gardens, through casual study, serious study in [[Master gardener program]]s, or by joining [[Garden club|gardening clubs]].{{citation needed|date=July 2012}}
