This comprehensive three-session course for home gardeners offers a sound foundation in design styles and process, the importance of sustainability and how to model a garden after patterns in nature. Students will devise a base/plot plan, implementing knowledge of hardscape materials, irrigation, soils and more. Prior to the class, students will complete a preliminary questionnaire and warm-up exercise for their site. In addition, students are asked to bring photos of their site and a baggie of the site’s soil to the first day of class.
COURSE PREREQUISITE: Our Right Plant, Right Place class. This class must be taken before the start of the design course.

Hi there! I’m interested in this class series for CA native design and saw that there is a course prerequisite listed: Right Plant, Right Place class.
How would I first sign up for this required class? I didn’t see it on the schedule. Thank you!
Also, last question. I’m located in the Mojave Desert, Joshua Tree Ca. Would this class be suitable/compatible with my area?
Thank you! Appreciate the help here.
Hi! I see I’ve missed the cutoff for enrolling but thought I’d check to see if you have any openings in the Three-Part Design class. I have taken the prerequisite class. Thank you for your consideration!
