Question 1
One consultation is about Visually communicating design concepts through professional rendering
and presentation techniques; another is about Producing documentation via manual hand-drawing
techniques or computer-aided design (CAD). Which response avoids directing either consultation
to the wrong specific focus?
A. Use Hard Landscaping, Materials & Visual Communication for the first and Utilizing garden
components for the second.
B. Use Site surveying methodology for the first and Hard Landscaping, Materials & Visual
Communication for the second.
C. Use Space Planning & Layout Composition for the first and Site surveying methodology for the
second.
D. Use Hard Landscaping, Materials & Visual Communication for the first and Site surveying
methodology for the second.
Correct Answer: D
Full Explanation:
Hard Landscaping, Materials & Visual Communication includes visually communicating design concepts
through professional rendering and presentation techniques. Site surveying methodology includes
producing documentation via manual hand-drawing techniques or computer-aided design (CAD). A: The
second concern is directly associated with Site surveying methodology, not Utilizing garden
components. B: This reverses the associations: the first concern fits Hard Landscaping, Materials &
Visual Communication, and the second fits Site surveying methodology. C: The first concern is directly
associated with Hard Landscaping, Materials & Visual Communication, not Space Planning & Layout
Composition.
Question 2
Which pair of concerns most directly corresponds to Site surveying methodology followed by
Professional Practice in Garden Design?
A. Adhering to industry-standard drawing conventions and notation; then Applying techniques to
create a sense of movement or highlight focal points
B. Drafting a formal design rationale and supporting documentation; then Pathways for employment,
self-employment, and launching a garden design enterprise
C. Adhering to industry-standard drawing conventions and notation; then Pathways for employment,
self-employment, and launching a garden design enterprise
D. Pathways for employment, self-employment, and launching a garden design enterprise; then
Adhering to industry-standard drawing conventions and notation
Correct Answer: C
Full Explanation:
Site surveying methodology includes adhering to industry-standard drawing conventions and notation.
Professional Practice in Garden Design includes pathways for employment, self-employment, and
launching a garden design enterprise. A: The second concern is associated with Garden Design
Principles, not the requested Professional Practice in Garden Design. B: The first concern is associated
with Professional Garden Design Project, not the requested Site surveying methodology. D: This

Professional Garden Design Project loses the distinction. C: The second concern fits Professional Garden
Design Project, so assigning both to Space Planning & Layout Composition loses the distinction. D: This
reverses the associations: the first concern fits Space Planning & Layout Composition, and the second
fits Professional Garden Design Project.
Question 6
Two cases concern (1) Drawing accurate master layout plans to scale and (2) Plant identification
and structural plant features (flowers, fruits, leaves, and stems). Which pair identifies the most
directly relevant areas in the same order?
A. Planting Design & Plant Knowledge; then Planting Design & Plant Knowledge
B. Space Planning & Layout Composition; then Space Planning & Layout Composition
C. Space Planning & Layout Composition; then Planting Design & Plant Knowledge
D. Planting Design & Plant Knowledge; then Space Planning & Layout Composition
Correct Answer: C
Full Explanation:
Space Planning & Layout Composition includes drawing accurate master layout plans to scale. Planting
Design & Plant Knowledge includes plant identification and structural plant features (flowers, fruits,
leaves, and stems). A: The first concern fits Space Planning & Layout Composition, so assigning both to
Planting Design & Plant Knowledge loses the distinction. B: The second concern fits Planting Design &
Plant Knowledge, so assigning both to Space Planning & Layout Composition loses the distinction. D:
This reverses the associations: the first concern fits Space Planning & Layout Composition, and the
