Wednesdays, July 11 – July 25, 10:00 am – 2:00 pm – The Art of Planting Design
In this three-session Massachusetts Horticultural Society tutorial course, Maria von Brincken, landscape designer, will teach you how to use color and plants to design gardens filled with color from flowers and foliage. You’ll learn how to create beautiful plant combinations that flower from spring to frost for sun and shade.
Through hands-on practice sessions, participants make a landscape/garden color palette, practice the system to design plant combinations in color sequences through the seasons, and learn planting bed lay-out. Tutorial walks in the Bressingham Garden illustrate class lectures and exercises. The classes will take place July 11, 18, and 25 from 10 – 2 at The Gardens at Elm Bank, 900 Washington Street in Wellesley. $240 for Mass Hort members, $275 for nonmembers.
