Class Description: A well-designed native plant garden is more than beautiful. It is functional, resilient, and perfectly suited to its place. In this hands-on class, you'll learn how the principles of great garden design apply to native plants and discover a step-by-step process for creating your own garden plan to scale. Explore how to use native plants for year-round color, striking forms, diverse textures, and the right fit for your site's light and moisture conditions. We'll also discuss practical strategies for addressing common challenges such as deer pressure, drainage issues, and local regulations, helping you create a landscape that works in the real world. Along the way, you'll be inspired by stunning examples of native plant gardens and plant combinations.
Upon registration, you will receive instructions for creating a base map of the space you wish to design, along with a list of the supplies and equipment you'll need for class.
What to bring with you: Note taking items, snacks, water. Dress appropriately for the weather (i.e. closed toed shoes, rain jacket/umbrella, hat, sunscreen, etc.) as the class will be in and out of doors. Please bring your completed base map, equipment, supplies, and a report of your soil test to class. Together, we'll put your vision on paper and help you take the first steps toward a beautiful, ecologically vibrant native plant landscape.
