There are many terms you will need to know as a landscaper. Don't worry! You won't be expected to have them all memorized before your first job! You can learn as you go. However, before your interview, quiz yourself on some of the basics. Start out by reviewing terms referring to the soil, like composting, clay, herbicide and fertilizer. You will want to know how herbicides and fertilizers will affect the soil and the plants. Also take some time to learn about the different perennial plants, which are those that live for a number of years and don't depend on a particular season. Learn about the plants and flowers that are native to your area.
