Yard Landscaping Series: Building the Landscape

Think your backyard is too rocky and too steep to properly enjoy? You're convinced it's impossible to transform into a serene oasis? Think again - explore the world of hardscaping, raised beds, decorative rock, and how to properly space, irrigate, and care for your plants in a more terraformed environment so that it works for you while also working for natural setting. This class will teach you all you need to know about nurturing plants that work with your hardscaped elements - proper mulching, edging, and plant placement that merges seamlessly with the paths, seating, and tiered surfaces you install. Your paradise yard is closer than you know once you've got the tricks of the trade to make it a reality. Participants will leave with a study guide containing all the tips and topics discussed and the passion to enact their landscaping plans at home.
Weather permitting, this class will be partially OUTSIDE, so check the weather and wear APPROPRIATE CLOTHES and COMFORTABLE SHOES. And, of course, you'll be handling dirt, so dress accordingly!
All gardening equipment is provided, and some gardening gloves will be available, though you may wish to bring your own gloves.
