Anyone who wishes to familiarize themselves with the principles and practices of landscape design is welcome to attend Landscape Design School. Attendees include those who wish to create their own landscape, professional landscape designers, town committee members, and many garden club members who wish to expand their knowledge.
As educated stewards of the land, attendees may choose to contribute to their communities’ awareness of a well-designed landscape by serving on town committees with the objective or improving playgrounds, parks, or curb appeal in downtown areas.
The school’s curriculum offers a wide range of subjects in Landscape Design including designing landscapes with plants and hardscapes (sidewalks, patios, sculptures), or redesign, with both the historical and future perspective. In addition the school discusses the creation of landscapes that evoke a particular feeling and purpose in both the public and private sectors.
The Federated Garden Clubs of Connecticut has been offering Landscape Design School courses since 1978. We look forward to continuing to educate others about good landscape design practices.
