According to Margaret Grose, our foundational knowledge in landscape architecture has shifted from horticulture to ecological systems, requiring some updating of our scientific understanding and viewpoints. While some may adhere to a love–hate relationship between landscape architecture and ecological science (Hoefer, 2015), Grose sees the importance of building a stronger relationship between theory (ideas) and data (evidence) to inform our future thinking in the discipline and profession.24-26en© The authorlandscape architectsBook Review10.34900/lr.v18i2.1133ANZSRC::330109 Landscape architectureANZSRC::330104 Architectural history, theory and criticismhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Attribution 4.0 International
