- Abstract
Numerous codes of ethics, laws, regulations and standards govern garden design professionals in Quebec and elsewhere, requiring them to respect the environment in order to ensure social well-being. Websites maintained by the federal and provincial governments and environmental groups educate consumers on environmental protection, sustainable development and the effects their actions have on the environment. Landscape architects must adapt accordingly by creating eco-friendly gardens that focus on three elements: soil (soil amendment, ecological amplification, composting); water (drainage, watering, mulch); and flora and fauna (insect- and disease-resistant plants, indigenous plants). The result is tranquil, harmonious gardens that are not plagued by bugs, drought, disease and weeds, and vibrant oases where birds and butterflies abound with the changing seasons
