On Saturday, January 30, the topic is “Garden Structures and Ornaments”:
Is it possible to have the garden of your dreams simply by incorporating a few new features? How do you mix in new, old, repurposed, unusual, elegant or unexpected elements to elevate and reflect the personal style and function of your garden? Martin will show how to transform ordinary gardens into extraordinary spaces using educated choices about the style, scale and placement of a variety of objects in the landscape.
Other topics include: Saturday, February 20 – “Public Urban Gardens,” and Saturday, February 27 – “Vegetable Gardening.”
