Garden Design: It’s in the Layers
April 19 @ 9:30 am - 4:00 pm
A well-designed year-round garden is made up of layers, from groundcovers to the highest canopies. A garden design planview helps to show detailed arrangement of the materials, including any paths, fences, walls, buildings, and plants. This class explores the drawing process of how to clearly select, separate, and illustrate layers of information onto layered drafts of trace paper. The most important layer of the design includes the Base Plan, created in Class 3 of this Series. Students will leave the interactive workshop with a new or refreshed perspective of their garden and overall landscape and know how to articulate the layers that make for clear and comprehensive garden design.
This is the seventh session of the Garden Design: 8-Part Series; we strongly recommend students bring a foundational Base Plan and conceptual ideas to get the most out of the session. Students are welcome to attend this class as a stand-alone or deepen their knowledge with the entire series. Those who register for the eight-part series will get eight classes for the price of seven. Learn more here
