Native Plant Garden Design with Kate Brittenham

Saturday, April 5, 2025; 1:00 - 4:00 PM

Join Kate Brittenham of Front Stoop Gardens for a three-hour workshop on designing landscapes with ecological principles and native plants. Learn how to create biodiverse, low-maintenance spaces that support local ecosystems while remaining beautiful and functional.

Participants will explore native plant selection with curated handouts and expert guidance on choosing species suited to specific site conditions. Through hands-on design exercises, you'll sketch scaled landscape plans, mapping plant spacing, structure, and layering. Interactive activities will help you tailor your design based on factors like sunlight, soil type, and water availability.

This workshop includes a one-hour lecture followed by a two-hour hands-on session, equipping you with the skills to create a thriving natural landscape.

🔹 Ages 15+
🔹 Youth Admission (15–17): FREE
🔹 Adult Admission (18+): $25

Participants are encouraged to bring their own colored pencils, tracing paper, drawing pencils, and erasers (materials will also be provided). A drafting scale and circle templates are recommended—limited supplies will be available.
