A garden plan starting to take form...
Kelly Marshall's Design Workshop Will Be Repeated in April.
 
A Garden Captured in a Morning...
 
In late February, we were very fortunate to have the expert instruction of one of the Bay Area's best landscape designers, helping workshop attendees create10 DIY garden designs. Ms. Marshall spent the first part of the 3 hour class vividly illustrating the underlying rules that make for a successful outdoor living space.  Class attendees then proceeded to create their own individual plans, with Ms. Marshall's expert guidance and advice.

We are extremely pleased to be able to have a second session of this terrific workshop. We recommend signing up early, since the last class filled up very quickly.
