What role do plants play in landscape architecture?

Plants play an essential role in landscape architecture as they are used to create aesthetically pleasing outdoor spaces. They provide color, texture, and fragrance to the environment and can be used to create unique features such as hedges, topiaries, and gardens. Plants are also used to control erosion, manage stormwater runoff, and reduce urban heat island effects. Landscape architects carefully select plants based on their functional and aesthetic qualities to create a sustainable environment that is both beautiful and functional.
