"The works of a garden bears visible fruit - in a world where most of our labors seem suspiciously meaningless."
- Pam Brown

Does the thought of working in your garden overwhelm you? Where to begin - What to do?

This fun and interesting workshop for homeowners offers an introduction to the basics of good landscaping. Discover how walkways, patio areas, water features, rockeries and other design elements can be combined to create a functional and pleasing landscape.
