  • Monday, February 25, 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm, and Saturday, March 2, 9:30 am – 1:30 pm – Bones of the Garden: Strengthening the Design

    Every memorable landscape has one thing in common – strong “bones.”  The placement of trees and shrubs creates form, directs movement, and organizes the garden.  Learn to select, situate, and integrate these stately elements into the cultivated landscape.  Explore the concepts of scale, creating space and the impact of plant growth over time in locating structural elements.  Using your new knowledge, develop your own site-specific design.  Receive feedback on designs and plant combinations.  During the final session, inspect the “bones” of Garden in the Woods with a late winter walk.  The two session class takes place Monday, February 25, 6:30 – 9, and Saturday, March 2, 9:30 – 1:30.  The instructor is Cheryl Salatino, designer and horticulturist, and the fee is $132 for members of NEWFS and The Landscape Institute, and $160 for nonmembers.  Register at www.newfs.org.  Image from www.masterscapes.com.
