Climate Smart Garden Design

NOTE: This class is 75 minutes in length and will extend into the free time between Sessions C and D.    
  
There is much to consider in designing a climate smart garden:  how water is harvested, used, and directed; how soils are nurtured to make them more drought-resilient and fertile; how plantings can help with thermoregulation of the site; how materials choices can contribute to our carbon footprint - and the list goes on!  In this class we'll discuss attributes of climate-smart gardens. 
 We'll cover design ideas and solutions to implement, including planting and materials choices, to meet our design goals and make our gardens - both new and existing - more resilient.
