In this series we will design and implement a landscape project to gain hands-on experience that you can then implement in your own space.

Class 1: Landscaping 1 (2.5 Hours)

During the week we will collect items to put into hard scape design. We will then place/install items in prep for planting winter hardy plants during this session. Bring a bag lunch and gloves.

Class 4: Landscaping 4 (2.5 Hours)
Location, location, location. How do we determine which plants to put where? We will review design ideas and start to lay out a plan.

Class 5: Landscaping 5 (8.5 Hours)
During this session we will talk about soil prep, amendments, etc and what we might have found for planting from local sources. This is in preparation for planting on October 7. We will make the final decisions on the location of plants, then actually dig and plant what we have gathered. Bring lunch, gloves, and any garden tools you may have.
