CLASSIC GARDEN DESIGN
Robert will discuss the basics of classic garden design as it relates to the site, the architecture and the client’s program. He will present design principles that create a plan to meet contemporary gardening issues while fulfilling the objectives of those who live in the garden. These principles will be illustrated with pictures of gardens he has designed in the valley and elsewhere. Aspects of maintenance and function will be incorporated into the lecture with dialogue and questions.
