Now in its 14th year the Wicker Park Garden Club’s workshop is taught by 6 professional designers and 10 veteran gardens from all over Chicagoland. The 8 week series takes the students through the process of design - both in lectures and in weekly hands-on design projects:
- Creating a site plan
- Determining usage and bed areas
- Incorporating architectural influences of the home into the landscape design
- Exploring various hardscape and water usage options
- Studying and designing with various sustainable plant palettes for sun and shade
- Learning to incorporate 4 season interest into your designs
- Understanding native and sustainable plant palettes and how to work with them
- Incorporating vegetables and herbs into your home landscape design.
Students work will be view and critiqued weekly by the instructors and by other students.
