Certificate in Native Plants - Landscape Design 

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

This class will show how ecologically sustainable design principles can be used to combine native plants and other resources in artful ways that resonate with our natural surroundings. First, students will review the steps required to complete a thorough site analysis. Following site analysis, they will look at the structure, seasonal interest, and versatility of a wide range of native trees, shrubs, vines, grasses, and wildflowers suited for use in our area. The class will include the hands-on experience of developing a base plan into a well thought out design.
