Landscape Design Workshop

REGISTRATION CLOSES MARCH 7th at Midnight!

Do you have a new property with a desolate yard that seems overwhelming? Do you need some help getting started?

Or do you have an existing yard that is looking a bit tired, overgrown or boring?

Why not sign up for this in-person, 3-session workshop? The class will be small, and you will be coached by a professional certified landscape designer, horticulturist and organic land care educator with over three decades of experience.

Workthrough the steps to arrive at the design that suits your lot terrain, personal and family style, budget and maintenance needs. We will also discuss city and county bylaws, grading, and what all that terminology means on your lot plan.

Learn about water conservation and collection, plant material that does best in our climate, and how to use natural solutions for pests and plant nutrition.
