Bring your garden pictures, drawings and dreams. Together we will explore garden design principles with examples of how you can create structure within your growing spaces for beauty and flow. During our time together we will discuss topics including: native plant gardening, growing food, proper planting techniques, plant selection, garden maintenance design and pest management.
We will take a stroll outside and check out the native plant gardens at Marksboro Mills to discuss design and point-out principles for the space. Bring your curiosity for a fun afternoon.
