There are 2 sessions: one covering shade gardens and another for sunny spaces. The well-designed border wears a combination of perennials, annuals, and shrubs that provide three seasons of color and winter interest. These classes will cover how to artfully combine plants with an emphasis on the use of color, texture, and form. You can register for one or both.
