Class Description:

Ready to create a garden that’s both beautiful and climate-resilient? This design seminar will walk you through the process of planning a landscape that captures rainwater, conserves resources, and thrives with local conditions.

You’ll learn how to:

• Understand and contour your landscape to capture and retain rainwater
• Calculate and site a rain garden for maximum benefits
• Create hydrozones to improve irrigation efficiency
• Choose climate-appropriate plants and group them for visual impact and function
• Integrate permeable hardscaping elements that support drainage and aesthetics
• Apply key design principles including “right plant, right place,” plant forms, accents, and color

By the end of the class, you’ll have the tools to develop a plant palette, sketch your layout, and design a landscape that’s sustainable, low-maintenance, and uniquely yours
