There’s more to a great garden than beautiful plants: gorgeous gardens are deeply rooted in planning and design. What are the elements to consider when planning landscapes and gardens? Find out at the West Coast Garden Design workshop at the Heriot Bay Inn March 28th.
Certified Horticulturalist Val Barr is leading this five hour garden planning intensive. Val Barr (of Valerie Barr Landscape Design) has worked in horticulture for 35 years and has a wealth of knowledge to share. Also teaching is Architectural Designer Pamela Goijberg of Fish House Design.
Learn the elements of a great garden, ten important features in successful garden design, professional secrets to beauty and function in a garden, hard landscaping materials and concepts, and designing in the “Spirit of Place”.
Participants will work on design concepts for their own gardens during the workshop, and leave the workshop with conceptual ideas and sketches to take forward.
The workshop is $75, and includes lunch. Interested in the workshop? Call the Heriot Bay Inn to register: 250.285.3322. Space is limited, so call soon!
