Sunday, May 1, 2:30 pm – 6:30 pm, Monday, May 2, 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm, and Thursday, May 5, 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm – Understanding Scale in the Garden

When it comes to scale in our environment, we know whether we’re feeling comfortable or not quite right. Yet in our own gardens, scale tends to be overlooked, even though relationships in the garden change as plants mature. In this hands-on design workshop at Garden in the Woods in Framingham, instructor Cheryl Salatino will explore how and why size matters in a successful landscape. This is a three session course to be held Sunday May 1 from 2:30 – 6:30, Monday May 2 from 6:30 – 9, and again on Thursday May 5 from 6:30 – 9. $135 for NEWFS members, $162 for nonmembers.

Monday, March 2 & Wednesday, March 4, 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm, and Saturday, March 7, 9:30 am – 1:30 pm – Bones of the Garden: Strengthening the Design

Every memorable landscape has something in common â€” strong â€œbones.â€ 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. You will experience first-hand how understanding these concepts can change your approach. Using this knowledge, you will develop your own site-specific design and receive feedback on design structure and plant combinations. During the final session of this New England Wild Flower Society course, inspect the â€œbonesâ€ of Garden in the Woods with a late winter walk. The three session class will be held Monday, March 2 and Wednesday, March 4 from 6:30 – 9, and on Saturday, March 7, from 9:30 – 1:30, and will be taught by Cheryl Salatino. Fee is $138 for NEWFS members, $163 for nonmembers. Register online at http://www.newenglandwild.org/learn/our-programs/bones-of-the-garden-strengthening-the-design.
