Landscape Design 

This course is an elective course and provides 4 hours toward the completion of the Certificate in Native Plants program.

Interested in using native plants in landscapes but unsure how to go about creating a useful design? Learn from an experienced landscape architect who's made and managed gardens across the southeast. Caleb Melchior will teach you how to understand your site conditions, identify parallel ecosystems, choose plants for your landscape, and combine those plants into beautiful easy-care communities. He'll explain what designers look for - and how to bring that approach to your own sites. Your pre-class homework assignment will include finding your own site and selecting plants to work with.
