Garden Design Workshop

A landscape design plan shows a house with surrounding garden beds filled with various colorful perennials and shrubs. Symbols indicate plants under 4 feet and over 5 feet, along with landscape elements like a birdbath, boulders, and stepping stones. The layout arranges plants in clusters around the driveway and front entrance. A legend on the right identifies each plant type and its height.

Garden Design Workshop

November 12 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Ready to create a garden that’s both beautiful and climate-resilient? This design seminar will walk you through the process of planning a landscape that captures rainwater, conserves resources, and thrives with local conditions.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Understand and contour your landscape to capture and retain rainwater
  • Calculate and site a rain garden for maximum benefits
  • Create hydrozones to improve irrigation efficiency
  • Choose climate-appropriate plants and group them for visual impact and function
  • Integrate permeable hardscaping elements that support drainage and aesthetics
  • Apply key design principles including “right plant, right place,” plant forms, accents, and color

By the end of the class, you’ll have the tools to develop a plant palette, sketch your layout, and design a landscape that’s sustainable, low-maintenance, and uniquely yours.
