Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this garden class:

Success or failure of any landscape design hinges on hardscape decisions. Hardscape is essentially everything except the plants.  Plants are the stars but hardscape is the stage on which they perform. In this course you will learn how and why professionals build grade elevations and use soil composition to sculpt the earth. Thereafter we'll study current design trends and compare these with conventional practices. Why are native plants all the rage in today's hort world? What are core plantings? How are foundation plantings used? You'll then learn how to boil down thousands of cultivar choices into a manageable list of proven winners.

Success and a landscape designer is measured by the degree to which people inhabit the landscapes we create. Students are encouraged to bring pictures of an exterior space they hope to design. Videos of actual garden design / build projects as well as a host of dramatic before and after transformations are provided as reference.
