Ecological planting plan course:

Join Rachel Grigorian of Clark Brook Designs for an engaging hands-on workshop designed to help homeowners create beautiful, pollinator-friendly planting plans for their home landscapes. Participants will learn how to design small garden spaces using a thoughtful mix of native plants and carefully selected cultivars that provide color, texture, and seasonal interest throughout the year while supporting local ecosystems. 

Using simple graph paper and easy-to-follow planning techniques, participants will map out their own small garden designs during the workshop. This approachable process will help homeowners better visualize plant placement, spacing, and layering so they can confidently begin creating sustainable and beautiful gardens at home.

For this process:

• everyone will likely need to have a space with measurements in mind. If not, perhaps there is a spot near the building where some people can measure and draw a plan with that space instead.
• Review the quick basics of plant design, plants for different growing conditions, and how to map one out. 
• Lecture for 45 minutes to an hour.
• Creative process for 45 minutes, questions and guidance.
