Presenter: Nina Shippen, Landscape Designer and Owner, Hidden Road Landscape Design
Designing a landscape is like creating a sculpture that we walk through. We are shaping space. What does the design of that space contribute to a satisfying experience in the garden? On the other hand, what detracts from it?
During this talk, we will explore design fundamentals such as scale, balance, coherence, context, texture, and color. We will review the landscape design process, starting with the all-important site assessment. Insights gleaned from both successes and failures will be salted throughout the presentation.
Come join us and find your landscaping answers.
Registration: The talk is free but registration is required. Please click on the link below to register. If you encounter problems registering or if you have questions, call 828-255-5522.
