Overview

An inspiring, hands-on workshop designed to help you thoughtfully plan garden and landscape spaces.

Join us for an Intentional Garden planning workshop on 10/7/26

Create a Garden That Works Beautifully—Season After Season

Join us for an inspiring, hands-on workshop designed to help you thoughtfully plan garden and landscape spaces that are beautiful, functional, and sustainable in the New England climate.

Rather than choosing plants one at a time, we’ll explore how to design with the whole garden in mind—from ornamental trees and shrubs to perennials and everything in between. You’ll learn how to create a landscape with staggered bloom times, varied textures, seasonal interest, and the right plants for the light conditions in your space.

We’ll cover:

  • 🌿 Selecting ornamental trees, shrubs, and perennials suited to New England gardens
  • 🌸 Creating continuous color and interest throughout the growing season
  • ☀️ Understanding sun, shade, and how light conditions affect plant selection
  • 🌱 Combining plants for height, texture, structure, and visual balance
  • 🍂 Planning for four-season interest—not just summer blooms
  • ✂️ Understanding ongoing pruning, dividing, cutting back, and general maintenance
  • 💧 Considering mature plant size, spacing, and long-term growth
  • 🏡 Avoiding common planning mistakes that can lead to overcrowded or high-maintenance gardens

Whether you’re starting with a blank space, refreshing an existing garden, or simply want to become more intentional about the plants you choose, this workshop will give you the knowledge and inspiration to create a landscape that evolves beautifully throughout the seasons.

Come with your ideas, questions, and garden dreams—and leave with a better understanding of how to turn them into a thoughtful, thriving landscape.

Space is limited. Reserve your spot and start planning your garden with intention.
