Landscape Design Primer (3-Part Workshop Series) May 02, 2012 Wednesday, May 2nd, 7:00pm - 9:30pm Even experienced gardeners can fall into making impulse plant purchases, then casually trying to fit them into their gardens. However, this doesn’t always yield the most satisfying results. The instructor will present practical guidelines, exercises, and inspirations for creating landscapes with a more polished look. After receiving a design kit, you will learn to analyze garden sites, decide on pathways, structures and plantings for season-long interest. The instructor will use PowerPoint presentations, lectures and handouts to help you create designs that are uniquely your own. Although plant knowledge is helpful for this course, no drawing experience is required. Session 3: Personal Case Studies and Exercises Students will be invited to bring in their own landscape design situations for suggestions from the teacher and class. Work on additional case studies and design exercises will continue through this session taking into account different site conditions. Students will leave the class with detailed handouts to help them go forward with their own designs. 3rd class in a 3-Part Workshop Series. Other classes: April 18th & April 25th. This course is not open to the public and only offered for AMG credit. SPEAKER - Cynthia Woodbyrne
