The key to:

•    Reducing water usage for gar dens and landscapes
•    Sharply reducing plant losses
•    Saving time, money, and energy in your garden or landscape

boils down to one very important strategy – work with a plan and match the needs of the plants with what a site proviides.

In this two-part workshop, you’ll learn a system to implement this strategy. You’ll spend less effort and money on guessing, suffer less heartbreak from losing cherished plants, and more time enjoy­ing the fruits of your garden and landscape success. Correct placement is everything in the garden or land scape and often is the dividing line between success and failure. One of the most common mistakes do-it-yourselfers make is putting the wrong plants in the wrong places, including planting too densely and putting large plants too close to buildings and fences. Sustainable garden design is not like interior design. Plants cannot be success fully arranged at-will like furniture or appliances, which unlike plants do not grow and change both form and size.

There is an enrollment fee differential. If you have taken an Urban/Suburban Ecoliteracy I workshop, the cost is less to attend.

The early registration deadline is August 15th. The late registration deadline is August 22nd.
