Description

An aging, established landscape often does not need to be removed entirely — only re-envisioned and reworked in order
to revitalize it. Learn techniques for enhancing an existing landscape. Discover how to give the landscape a new look by adding fresh plants, removing those that are no longer thriving, engaging in selective pruning and incorporating other garden elements while still using existing plants. Use these skills to think through changes to your own property.

These courses are also open to the public, so please contact Phipps at edu@phipps.conservatory.org with your LA license number after registering in order for us to process your credit.
