Design Strategies for an English Garden

Expanding upon the ideas introduced in the Introduction to English-style Gardens lecture, this workshop will allow you the opportunity to sketch out the basics of a plan for your landscape. The devices of definition, open ground and mixed borders will be refined with discussions of plant palette, the influence of light on color and right plant/right place approaches. Participants should plan to bring a drawing of the site they want to develop. No site should be larger than 75 x 75 feet.
