Topic: Mindful Garden Design: Less Weeding, More Wine
A comprehensive approach to garden
planning, design, and maintenance for people with small yards, big plant
collections, and busy lives.
This is a live lecture that will let you
follow the steps of planning and developing a garden from start to
finish. Along the way, you will learn how to create a working plan,
consider lighting zones, space plants properly, source accurate plant
information, maximize plant density and create easily maintainable planting
beds. Be prepared for unique tips which will make weeding easier and
clever design ideas that will distract people when you just don't have
time to weed! The emphasis will be on teaching you to be mindful as
you garden. Gardening smart and planning for future garden problems can
save money, time, and most importantly your beloved plant children. We
will go over EVERYTHING from how to create plantings that
leave room for future home repairs, to how to protect your plants
from lawn service mishaps, and even how to keep your non-gardener
spouses interested and supportive throughout the whole gardening
process. Along with the practical tips, this lecture will also
discuss and explain basic design fundamentals that will help you arrange
your plants in a way that really shows off their beauty! You will learn
how to create attractive vistas, so you can appreciate your garden while
indoors, and how to use pathways to trick the eye into thinking your small
garden paradise goes on forever.
While ideal for those who are just
getting their gardens started, this lecture was really created to help
reinspire gardeners who may be frustrated by gardening maintenance. Many
people give up on gardening because they don't have the time to
keep their yards looking nice. When you learn to garden mindfully,
however, you won't need to spend every day maintaining your yard. Let me
show you how to free yourself of gardening stress and reinspire you
to KEEP GROWING!
