Abstract: The “Application of Landscape Plants” is a core course in the curriculum guidance of the National Master of Landscape Architecture Education Steering Committee. This paper explores the teaching contents, teaching methods and assessment methods of relevant courses of Chinese and foreign universities. On this basis, it combines the teaching practice of the postgraduate courses of Tianjin University and students' learning feedback and expectations to discuss how to construct a teaching system that meets the characteristics of postgraduate learning from the contents and methods of teaching. It constructs the “basic-core-expansion” modules of systematic curriculum contents, which are the Landscape Plant Basic, Plant Landscape Planning and Design, and Landscape Plants Application Frontier. Considering the characteristics of each module, it puts forward the corresponding teaching and assessment methods to formulate the teaching characteristics of graduate courses and enhance the teaching effects.
