This Wellesley College Botanic Garden five session hands on design studio with Christie Dustman starts with learning about the design principles and elements of a garden – the building blocks. Then, discuss what kinds of goals and problems garden design can resolve. Put all of this together through the eyes of a landscape designer who shows you design projects from start to finish. Try your hand at designing a garden based on sample homeowner criteria and site realities. Then use your own landscape and your list of requirements to work on a plan for your home. The classes will take place January 25, February 1, 8, and 15, and March 1, from 6:30 – 8:30, with a snow date of March 15. Friends of Wellesley Botanic Gardens $110, nonmembers $135. Call 781-283-3094 to register.
