Garden Design: Conceptual Planning
April 5 @ 9:30 am - 4:00 pm
When we design a garden, we do much more than create a space to show off favorite flowers; we reflect personality and a sense of place, incorporating circulation, function, and design principles. Join us at the Gardens as we continue to apply landscape design principles, as introduced in Class 1 – Foundations and Inspirations, to explore the conceptual process that awakens creativity and trains the brain to draw freehand to form and render multiple schematics and design ideas. There’s significant value in exercising different concepts, including organizational strategies and functional choices, in order to come to a design solution that feels considerate and fulfilling.
Happening outdoors and indoors at the Gardens, students will become inspired to practice on their own projects after a lecture and group exercises. This is the 5th session of the 8-Part Garden Design Series, therefore we strongly recommend students come prepared with design materials, including a Base Plan. 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
