Intro to Garden Design 101 - The Process & Decisions of Hardscapes/Structures In-Person
In this 3rd workshop, we will begin to address the execution of your plan and the choices for plants - size, structure, growing requirements, addition of food bearing plants, etc.
Throughout the classes we will add the artistic view which will make your final design a masterpiece of art! We like to refer to this class as "painting with plants". Just as an artist understands the "balance" of a painting and uses texture, color, repetition, unity, etc. to bring their composition to life - you can use these exact same principles to "execute" the decisions for what plants to use in your landscape design.
We will discuss how to look at your yard as if you were a landscape designer. Especially important for placement of fruit bearing trees, bushes and vines. Considerations for placement of vegetable gardens. In this presentation, we will talk about your overall yard including hardscape assessments, materials use, integration with your home and/or views, sunlight observations, air flow and other major landscaping decisions. Some overlap for each class will naturally occur.
