Class Description

Description

Success or failure of any landscape design hinges on hardscape decisions. Hardscape is essentially everything except the plants.  Plants are the stars but hardscape is the stage on which they perform. In this course you will learn how and why professionals build grade elevations and use soil composition to sculpt the earth. Thereafter we'll study current design trends and compare these with conventional practices. Why are native plants all the rage in today's hort world? What are core plantings? How are foundation plantings used? You'll then learn how to boil down thousands of cultivar choices into a manageable list of proven winners.

Success and a landscape designer is measured by the degree to which people inhabit the landscapes we create. Students are encouraged to bring pictures of an exterior space they hope to design. Videos of actual garden design / build projects as well as a host of dramatic before and after transformations are provided as reference.

How do the LIVE VIA ZOOM online courses work?

Some courses include assignments for students to complete between sessions which may have due dates that require course participation during the week. In some courses, projects and visual presentations may be required.

Schedule: Please check the course description for exact course dates and times. Students must log into the zoom meeting to attend their scheduled session but do not need a zoom account. Instructors often record course meetings, if you know you are going to miss a session, please let your instructor know ahead of time.

Time commitment: The time that you spend working on your online course will vary based on the number of assignments.
