The Landscape Design School is back.
Our
upcoming program is on September 18, 19, 24 and 25. You will learn many areas
about landscaping.
The fall
season is right around the corner and this is a great time to start thinking
about adding
new garden
areas. The fall season is the best time
to plant woody perennials, such as shrubs and trees. In this class we'll help you figure out a
design plan. This educational program
will feature an array of gardening and landscaping information and techniques to
help you garden successfully.
Imagine a
beautiful landscape that will be beneficial to the environment with a friendly
approach.
You can
learn the type of soil you have and knowing your soil is literally the most
important feature to maintaining a beautiful landscape. As part of this educational program, you will
receive a free soil test.
You will
learn new ways to reduce the amount of water needed and how to reduce the need
for pesticides and fertilizers and learn about the principles to improve plant
performance and protection.
The
planning and design of your landscape is very important and by using good design
principles, your garden will thrive and you'll get great results.
There will
be 4 nights to this program and you will receive educational material, including
a design kit and a one hour consultation with a landscape professional.
Pre-registration is required with a $75 fee.
