In order to meet the needs of talent cultivation in the new era, integrating ideological and political education into the classroom has become an important practice for cultivating moral character in universities at present. Currently, theoretical courses in architectural design have prominent cultural attributes and strong practical operability. However, there are still many shortcomings in the methods and practical processes of integrating ideological and political elements into course design. Starting from the characteristics of the course on garden architecture design principles, this paper analyzes the necessity and feasibility of integrating ideological and political education into the curriculum, and proposes specific teaching reform strategies. By optimizing course content, innovating teaching methods, and improving the evaluation system, the paper aims to achieve the organic integration of ideological and political education into the course on garden architecture design principles. This is intended to cultivate outstanding design talents who possess not only solid professional knowledge but also noble moral qualities. The construction of ideological and political education in theoretical design courses is a continuous process of exploration, requiring us to keep abreast of the times, enrich course content, take socialist core values as the guide, and ensure the thorough implementation of the task of cultivating people by virtue and talent.
