Our Department of Garden and Landscape Architecture conducts formal teaching of the named subjects as well as conducting the research in this field. Our Bachelor Program graduates in Production and Landscaping (ATZZ) are preparing to continue their study in the Master Program and two professional Bachelor programs, namely Gardening (ABZ) and Garden Landscaping (in the 2nd and 3rd year of study this subject is presented in cooperation with VOŠZ Mělník.)
The Bachelor programs are followed with the program named Garden Creativity (AMZO) on Master level where the dendrology and vegetation modification planning is emphasized, both in intravilan and countryside. The finished graphic works are routinely displayed in the Life Science University display rooms.
Some subjects are augmented by guest presentation employing leading specialists experienced in practical application of the presented subjects.
Beside the lectures and workshops conducted in the university presentation rooms the learning is supplemented with visits to see the historical and present garden and nature landscaping places of interest. In the past, the Lednice-Valtice area, the City of Hradec Králové and Pardubice greenery, the English, French, Dutch, German, and Italian parks and gardens served as some examples of the case.
Research activity:
The Department participates in the research aim of the Czech University of the Life Science called The Sustained Farming, Quality Farm Products, Landscape and Natural Resources.
The grants help to finance the following long range projects:
- Digitalization of wood plants on the University of Life Science grounds,
- Digitalization of the wood plants on the Prague Castle grounds,

- Wood plants cultivation in the EU market.
Very important part of the departmental work is planning the project activities (modifying vegetation, dendrology explorations, etc.)
