Teaching
The specialist area of plant use includes the conception and planning of plantings with woody plants, perennials, summer flowers and bulbs. The scope of tasks ranges from imparting plant knowledge to plant planning designs from the settlement area to the open landscape, from preliminary design to implementation planning, from plan presentation to practical implementation, planting and maintenance. Particular emphasis is placed on teaching knowledge of species and varieties (dendrology, herbaceous perennials, etc.) in a practical manner. In addition to site-related, spatial, aesthetic and maintenance factors, questions of the appropriateness of plant selection and the level of detail of planting for the site are also of central importance ("genius loci"). In teaching and research, both traditionally static planting images and changing, processually dynamic planting concepts are developed, which actively include the factor of time. In addition to the herbaceous perennial garden, the teaching and experimental garden of the Landscape Architecture Department with teaching construction sites and areas for practical experiments is available to students as an important field of teaching and experience.
