Landscape Design Workshop at the Justin Morrill Homestead
Rethinking Your Backyard — Creating Outdoor Spaces
Join Janet Cavanagh, Landscape Architect, for a 3 part series on how to design your own garden. You will learn how to make a plan, analyze your site, determine your landscape needs, and with a few design principals you will be able to determine the arrangement of features such as terraces, walls, structures and planting beds which will shape your outdoor space. Whether your style is formal or naturalistic, you will learn to conceptualize your vision, enhance the natural features of your land and begin to select the right plant for the right place for both beauty and food.
Janet has spent 25 years designing gardens for clients all over New England. Please note that with the exception of the FIRST class which will be held on Wednesday, April 28, classes will be held on Tuesdays May 4 and 11th from 7pm – 8:30pm at the Education Center, Justin Morrill Homestead, Strafford, VT. Cost: $75.00 for 3 sessions. Questions and/or reservations, please phone Margie Carpenter 802-765-9630 or metcarpenter[AT]mac.com
