Thursdays, March 12 – April 2, 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm – Design With Plants

As you survey your garden, do you have only one of each plant? Do you see other gardens that seem to be in bloom throughout the seasons and then come home to your unexciting garden? Does planting design seem to be an innate sense that you just don’t have? Come and learn to think about plants in terms of their form and function first, and then learn some strategies to best lay out your planting plan. The four session class, taught by designer Christie Dustman, will consist of classroom exercises and lectures, First session will be held Thursday, March 12 beginning at 6:30 in the Weld Hill Building.
