Why do some designs succeed and others do not?
Learn how to conceptualize gardens using a variety of drawing techniques and develop a more sophisticated understanding of design theory. Become increasingly comfortable with identification of goals and objectives, site inventory and analysis, and the various design phases. Delve more deeply into design creativity, detailed garden features, and more advanced graphics by solidifying concepts presented in previous courses.
This course concludes with a small-group workshop with instructor Geoff Anderson in which he will critique and provide feedback to participants’ work.
