All memorable landscapes have one thing in common – strong “bones.†The placement of trees and shrubs creates form, directs movement, and organizes the garden. Learn to situate and integrate these stately elements into the cultivated landscape. Explore the concepts of scale, the creation of space, and the impact of change over time. Cheryl Salatino, Landscape Designer, Dancing Shadows Garden Design, will teach this three part New England Wild Flower Society course on Monday, February 24 and Wednesday, February 26 from 6:30 – 9, and Saturday, March 1 from 9:30 am – 1:30 pm. You will experience first-hand how these concepts can change your approach. Using these concepts, develop your own site-specific design and receive feedback on designs and plant combinations. During the final session, inspect the “bones†of Garden in the Woods with a late winter walk. Image from www2.fiskars.com.
The classes take place at Garden in the Woods in Framingham, and the fee is $132 for NEWFS members, $160 for nonmembers. Register on line at www.newfs.org/learn/catalog/hor4223.Â
