Capturing your ideas in an easy to understand plan is essential when creating a landscape design. This online Tower Hill Botanic Garden interactive workshop with Cheryl Salatino gets you focused on the methods and tools required to develop your design approach. We will use a common residential project as the foundation for sparking new ideas for what is possible. Each week you will evolve your design and present your work for feedback and questions. Our collaborative sessions will provide the skills you need to take the next step in designing your own personal garden. The sessions will be from 9:30 – 12:30, and are $125 for Tower Hill members, $150 for nonmembers. Register at www.towerhillbg.org.
