Interspersed with design work are lectures on plants and habitats, including information on plant choice and placement in the landscape. A list of required materials will be discussed at the first class. Classes begin on February 4, from 5:45 – 7:45, and are taught by Karen Sebastian, principal, Karen Sebastian LLC Landscape Architecture. Classes will take place at the Cambridge Center for Adult Education on Brattle Street in Cambridge, and the fee is $209 for members of the sponsoring organization(s), or $245 for nonmembers.
