Kitchen Garden Design Class
Pre-requisite: Participants must attend The Art of Growing Food lecture FIRST, because this is part two for digging deeper into the landscape design.
About the Class:
Imagine you are sitting on a bench in your garden, surrounded by a sea of greenery and all of it is edible: clusters of purple pole beans drape over the bamboo arbor at the entrance to the garden; mounds of deep maroon nasturtiums under the spiky gray green leaves of artichokes; citrusy foliage of Lemon Gem Marigolds and Alpine strawberries. The sweet flavor melts onto your tongue.
Welcome to the kitchen garden of your dreams!
This is hands-on design class teaches allows you to take a fresh look at your vegetable garden with an eye towards aesthetics, comfort, and ease. The goal is to create a garden space that is designed right from the start – on paper, using the right set of tools, and drawing inspiration from a basic primer of good design.
We will review the concepts of four square design, adding focal points, comfortable places to sit, and what to plant. You will start to draw an edible garden design that has style and visual appeal, and discover new ways to fit growing areas into the natural landscape of your back yard.
Bring graph paper and pencils, and photos of your garden.
