Join Dr. Mark Miller, Education & Exhibits Director, and Gina Walter, Education Manager, to examine the history of landscape architecture, elements of good design, tools to create your own vision, environmentally sustainable design principles, and a bevy of good plant recommendations.

In October, Mark and Gina will build on these concepts and guide a smaller group through a hands-on process of creating a garden design for your unique space.
