Every memorable landscape has something in common — strong “bones.†The placement of trees and shrubs creates form, directs movement, and organizes the garden. Learn to situate and integrate these stately elements into the cultivated landscape. Explore the concepts of scale, the creation of space, and the impact of change over time. You will experience first-hand how understanding these concepts can change your approach. Using this knowledge, you will develop your own site-specific design and receive feedback on design structure and plant combinations. During the final session of this New England Wild Flower Society course, inspect the “bones†of Garden in the Woods with a late winter walk. The three session class will be held Monday, March 2 and Wednesday, March 4 from 6:30 – 9, and on Saturday, March 7, from 9:30 – 1:30, and will be taught by Cheryl Salatino. Fee is $138 for NEWFS members, $163 for nonmembers. Register online at http://www.newenglandwild.org/learn/our-programs/bones-of-the-garden-strengthening-the-design.
