  • Yestermorrow 7865 Main St Waitsfield, VT, 05673 United States (map)

Interested in becoming a landscape designer? Or are you designing/building a home and want to learn how to design the landscape so that they may inform one another and be ecologically minded? Or do you want to redesign your current landscape to support wildlife, provide edibles, manage stormwater, be resilient, or better align with your values and goals?

Whether you rent, own, are renovating or building a house, or are just looking to learn, this course will give you a foundation to help you assess and design a regenerative and ecological landscape to meet your (or your clients) goals.

In this course, you'll learn:

  • Intro to landscape design: ecology, psychology, history

  • How to do a site analysis

  • Fundamental landscape drafting skills

  • Approaches to conceptual planning & design

  • How to draw a site plan and design details for your own home or other residential site

  • Intro to plant design: natives, edibles, function & beauty!

This course will use a predetermined site as a case study for applying concepts. We will offer optional evening sessions for students with a personal project to develop their base maps and start designing.
