Abstract:Design with plants is one of the important ability sections in the teaching of Landscape Architecture. With the globalization and information age, the teaching of plant landscaping has been greatly developed, which also brings new challenges to teaching in colleges. By reviewing the teaching practice of Landscape Architecture major in South China Agricultural University, it can be further understood the plant landscaping could be a medium for breeding talents in the new era of “connecting the past and the future”, which could help inherit the traditional wisdom and promote the sustainable development of nature, humanity and society. Collaboration across the curriculum, reorganization of teaching resources based on traditional wisdom and local resources, learning the participatory plant landscaping based on local community residents and planting behavior, are specific measures, which could improve students' professional competence. The overall course guides students to attach importance to local climate change, plants observation, whole life cycle management and public participation, so as to realize the cultivation of comprehensive ability of landscape architecture talents.
