Many of us get stuck when we want to create something new in the landscape. Because we live in a three-dimensional world, we can’t visualize images drawn on paper. This Native Plant Trust collaborative, hands-on workshop on February 22 at 10:30 am at Garden in the Woods in Framingham with Cheryl Salatino offers a different approach to exploring space, views, light, and plant selection. Fun, fast, and free-form strategies are used to stimulate the imagination. Come to get unstuck. $68 for NPT members, $81 for nonmembers.
