Create a garden design that works for you! In this session, you’ll learn how to develop a clear vision and set goals, analyze your site including sun and microclimates, and design from patterns to details using a logical, step-by-step process. Watch the video below, and accompanying notes are available to download here.
There’s a lot to think about when planning a garden! Many of us are keen to get stuck in and start planting, but taking the time to properly assess your needs and the site will help you find the optimal location for each element. You will enjoy the space more, increase your harvest, and avoid wasted materials, expensive mistakes and missed opportunities. Whether it’s a small balcony or a larger backyard, gardens of any scale can benefit from a clear design process.
