Description
This is a continuation of myFundamentals of Garden Design 2025course. In this course we'll be looking at the Conceptual Garden Plan and how this design leads to the strong and efficient creation of a working planting plan that can be priced for yourself or for a client.
While the conceptual plan gives direction and offers opportunity for discussion and modification, the working planting plan becomes the actual design to be installed. Plants will be identified, including their quantity and container size. Proper symbols and labeling will be emphasized for identification on the plan.
This course is a practical and straight-forward application of developing a professional landscape planting plan.
Within the course I will demonstrate how to create this plan using plants common to where I live and work in California. While these same plants may not be either appropriate or available where you live, the principles of planting design are universal. It will be up to the student to know what plants are available and their cultural requirements where you live and work in order to satisfy the design intentions of the garden plan.
A sample planting plan will be provided for the student to refer to when creating their own working drawings. Using plants available where you live and work and that are culturally compatible will give you the chance to develop a planting plan for review; I will critique of offer suggestions for improvement.
I will provide a conceptual plan as well as a blank plan of the site for you to use in selecting plants, or you can use a design of your own.
Who this course is for:
- This course is for beginning and intermeadiate garden designers, landscape contractors offering design services and for homeowners wishing to develop their own garden plan.
