Get a head start before planting season by first designing your ideal garden with expert guidance in our Three-Part Design class!

Learn how to evaluate an existing garden, how to use or convert existing irrigation systems, different design approaches, and more. This comprehensive course for home gardeners offers a sound foundation in design styles and process, the importance of sustainability and how to model a garden after patterns in nature. With an emphasis on goals for individual design, students will devise a base/plot plan, considering habitat, hardscape materials, color, fragrance, soil, and maintenance. A fun and informative way to engage with your space hands-on!

This is not an introductory course, but rather 1-on-1 sessions aimed to help a site specific project you have in mind come to fruition. Students will need to submit a preliminary questionnaire for their site and complete a warm-up exercise prior to the class.

COURSE PREREQUISITE: Our introductory class is offered monthly and strongly recommended in tandem with the design course.

*Please note this is not a certification course. This class is recommended for nonprofessional individuals working on a personal or community space.
