As a theoretical and practical course,garden ecology usually requires students to master the theoretical and practical contents related to ecology,botany and other courses in the teaching process.However,the current teaching process of garden ecology still has many deficiencies,including single teaching mode,the lack of practical teaching and other issues.Thus,this paper puts forward the reform measures of teaching methods of garden ecology from four aspects:theoretical teaching,practical teaching,assessment and evaluation of students,and the establishment of a comprehensive evaluation system.These results provide a certain reference for improving the quality of teaching as well as cultivating more talents with innovative ability,practical ability,and environmental protection consciousness.
