Do you have a keen interest in landscape and garden design?
During this online course, join urban designer Daniel Rodriguez and other like-minded landscape design-lovers and discover how to consider built spaces with a designer’s eye. Then, put those skills to use during an independent journey to local green spaces—botanical gardens, parks, or other beloved natural landmarks. While there, you’ll observe signature design elements and styles in those landscapes, and compare and contrast the application of design principles, elements, and processes.
