Workshops

The workshops are geared to teach the homeowner the basics of landscaping their property. By drawing back the curtain on the sometimes confusing terms, techniques, and methods, the homeowner is better equipped to make decisions about their land. This method of hands-on teaching puts the power with the homeowner, better preparing them for the work involved in installing a landscape.

Each workshop is taught on the homeowner’s property, addressing a specific area or areas. Although they have a framework, each session can be tailored to meet the particular needs of the client. There are always takeaway materials for each session, helping to reinforce the topics covered in each workshop.

Any one workshop can be taken over and over again, in order to focus on different sections of the property, or can be taken sequentially in order to build a more comprehensive plan for the yard.
