Gardeners specialized in horticulture and landscape gardening

Areas of Application

Garten- und LandschaftsbauGardeners specialized in horticulture and landscape gardening build, plant and tend green areas, such as gardens around residential buildings, areas surrounding public buildings, playgrounds and sports grounds, green areas along streets and squares as well as on storefronts and roofs.
In addition to working with modern machines, gardeners still have to perform a great deal of work by hand. Soil, stone, water, wood and plants are the materials used here.
In the case of new grounds or modifications, they measure the grounds, design the terrain by moving earth, make steps, paths and specific areas as well as build supporting walls, exposed and noise protection walls, ponds and playgrounds. Tending green areas, lawns, borders, shrubs and undergrowth is a source of work the whole year round.

Vocational Skills

Garten- und LandschaftsbauGardeners specialized in horticulture and landscape gardening are characterized by a love of nature and manual skills. They enjoy building, designing and tending green areas and carry out independently and with technical understanding what the customer wants while taking into consideration efficient use of energy and materials as well as environmental protection and conservation.
To achieve the training goals, Euro- BBW conducts training with a projectoriented focus. For example, the training groups take on orders, plan construction sites, calculate the material needs and perform the work. In addition, the trainees take part in various periods of work experience at private enterprises in the field of horticulture and landscape gardening as well as at public maintenance departments in the course of the three-year training.
