By analyzing the concept of conservation-minded garden,connotations of such gardens and their significance for the garden construction are specified.From the perspectives of spatial layout,compound planting pattern,tridimensional greening,terrain processing,utilization of underground spaces,the significance of resource-efficient elements in the construction of conservation-minded garden is respectively discussed.This study proposes that spatial layout of the conservation-minded garden should build vertical transportation,save green spaces,take terrain features into consideration,expand three-dimensional spaces,reasonably plan road network,and improve utilization rate of green spaces;advantages of the compound planting pattern are analyzed;tridimensional greening pattern is analyzed from the perspectives of roof greening and vertical greening;concepts of \"core\" and \"surface\" are highlighted in terrain processing;land-saving efficiency of underground garage and market are introduced in terms of the utilization of underground spaces.Design cases are taken as examples to summarize the application of resource-efficient elements to better serve the landscaping industry and provide references for the construction of conservation-minded garden.
