Homeowner Landscaping Plans: Design, Implementation, and Construction
2021-02-26 10:00 - 12:00 (America/Chicago) | Online, TX, United States
Design Your Own Landscape Master Plan
Creating a landscape master plan is an important step if you are installing or redoing your garden. Join Travis County Master Gardener Sandy Stone who discusses design elements and construction how-tos. She also tells us that “You have to determine where you want to end up before you can figure out how to get there.”
Sandy breaks the process into clear steps on how to develop an overall theme and then how to select materials and plantings to support the concept. Sandy will also get into the nitty gritty with how to organize and install hardscapes, irrigation, plants, and mulch.
This is a two-part series. You can register for Sandy’s first talk on site analysis here.
