This multisession New England Wild Flower Society course, appropriate for beginners, tackles the different aspects of the landscape design process. Workshop sessions will focus on design methods using site analysis techniques and schematic design tools. You will consult with the instructor and work on a project of your own choosing. Discussions about plants and habitats will be interspersed with lectures on design principles, including criteria for making plant choices and determining placement in the landscape. Classes are held at Garden in the Woods on Wednesdays, January 10, 17, 24, 31, and February 7 from 6-9, and are led by Cheryl Salatino of Dancing Shadows Garden Design. $215 for NEWFS members, $254 for nonmembers.
