Love the new wilder gardens? These naturalistic gardens are more than a field meadow.

Want to use native grasses and flowers to attract pollinators? Small space or large, you'll learn how to design "wild" for your existing or new perennial garden.


In this three-session workshop, you'll learn how to select a personal garden color palette, how to create vivid planting combinations that will flower in seasonal succession, and how to use drifts, masses, and individual plants to create garden lay-outs. We'll note plants to add for winter interest. 


Each week includes, in-class learning, hands-on activities, and a tutorial walk that follows a weekly lecture onsite at the Garden. Dress for the weather and for walking over rolling terrain and mulched paths.
