    This course has brought in an importance in the field of landscaping architecture along with the agriculture and conservation. This course helped me in rejuvenating my passion for landscaping and has helped me in understanding my role in this field. I was pretty fascinated about the conservation of the species along with the conversion of barren eroded lands into rainforests which are suitable for redeeming the species from endangering. I was able to understand the importance of teamwork which is an essential part in the establishment of such a large project.
