Come join me virtually on February 15 and 22 from 10am to 2pm *
Learn how to Create Winter Garden Plant Layouts
In this two-session workshop, you’ll be introduced to how to create a winter garden for your front entry gardens or other borders. You’ll learn how to use drifts, masses, and individual plants to create garden layouts. Discover how to use shrubs and trees scaled to the home landscape. You’ll discover the role the Winter Garden plays throughout the seasons. And, how to create a garden color palette that will apply to later seasons.
Learn how to Select Plants You Love
If you’re redesigning an existing garden, we’ll start with a “decluttering exercise” to help you select the plants you love and thrive in your existing garden. Or if starting a new garden, a wish list of favorite plants.
Work on Your own Garden Design in Class
Then we’ll focus on designing the winter landscape of shrubs and trees—using conifers, deciduous, and broad-leafed plants. You’ll practice creating a small Winter Garden using your own pre-measured small garden (no larger 20 x 8’—bring photos too).
Practice Worksheets, Hand-outs, Slide Lectures, Instructor Review
*A Tutorial Walk (February 16) in person at MHS’s Bressingham Garden will inspire our winter garden designs. We’ll meet late morning or mid-day for about an hour.
Workshop complete with hand-outs, worksheets and instructor review of your in-class work will get you started on learning the art of creating the Winter Garden.
