Every memorable landscape has one thing in common – strong “bonesâ€. The placement of trees and shrubs creates form, directs movement and organizes the garden space. With instructor Cheryl Salatino, learn to select, situate, and integrate these stately elements into the cultivated landscape. Explore the concepts of creating space, the impact of plant growth over time in locating structural elements, and review a selection of native plant varieties that are well-suited for New England sites. Using your new knowledge, develop your own site-specific design. Receive feedback on designs and plant combinations, and during the final session, inspect the “bones†of Garden in the Woods with a late winter walk. Three sessions, Feb. 28 and March 2, 6:30 pm – 9 pm, and March 5, 9:30 am – 1:30 pm.
