Leverage Your Site's Natural Resources for Sustainable Landscape Design

We are thrilled to once again host Pellettieri Associates for an insightful workshop here at Bedrock Gardens! If you are wanting to know the best way to incorporate your existing, natural landscape features into a more holistic design, be sure to attend this workshop for insights from the professionals.

Description: Learning to identify and leverage the natural resources and opportunities on your property can have significant positive impacts on the sustainability of your landscape (and bank account). Hear from the landscape professionals at Pellettieri Associates to learn more about what they look for when first evaluating an existing site.
