Seeing and Thinking Like a Landscape Designer

February 10, 2018 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

$18

Course Description:

Considering that everything in our interior and exterior environment affects us, it is important to pay attention to detail.  In this class you’ll learn tips for pulling all the elements of your landscape together so it looks like it was designed with the big picture in mind vs. a more random approach.

We will cover the importance of curb appeal and how the smallest things can affect your peace of mind and daily mood.  The concepts of harmony and balance, the main guiding principles of Feng Shui, will also be addressed.

Because most of our high impact plants are dormant six months of the year, a four season garden is essential for a beautiful, well rounded landscape.  We’ll look at how to use the basic elements of design throughout the year for optimal aesthetics as well as bring in other concepts that add to the magical nature of your landscape.
