First you
will create a site plan including your home, lot size, buildings
around your yard, and all trees, shrubs, sidewalks, and water
features. Then, looking at this site plan, you will determine
what works with the architecture of your home and those around
it. Next, you will study your property’s soil types, available
light levels
at your site, plant palettes appropriate for your site and your
aesthetics. In this process you will survey plant combinations
that work well together, considering shrubs, trees,
perennials,
and the hardscape that you could incorporate into your final
designs.
You set the
budget, your goals, and determine how you plan to use the final
landscape – then you design based on your acquired knowledge and
input from the 7 guest speakers and our 10 experienced gardeners
who will assist you in
creating your
designs.
You will be
asked to make many designs that could work
for you as
you explore each week’s design concepts and goals, gaining
freedom to change the plan and perhaps find a new approach that
really works for you. Some enter the class with very specific
goals – others create as they go. You will create many design
options for your home landscape, and then be able to decide
which ones work for you.
