Garden Design 2: Practice Studio

This class is a HANDS-ON continuation of our "Design & Plan Your 2027 Garden Workshop". Join Debra at the Columbus Garden School and learn the practical basics of landscape design -- and prepare for your future garden renovations. Whether you want to DIY or work with a designer/installer, this class provides you with the tools to lay out your garden vision. Site plans, accurate measurements, obstacles and opportunities, and basic design elements will be covered. A tools and materials list will be distributed PRIOR to the class. Come prepared to transform your ideas onto paper and a plan! ** NOTE: Deb's previous "Design & Plan Your Garden Workshop" is a PREREQUISITE for this hands-on class. Class size is strictly LIMITED to 8 students; please avoid disappointment by signing up ASAP.
