As gardeners, it's not always helpful to think of the garden as one big unit, which can be overwhelming. Sometimes it helps to think small. Perhaps you'd like to add a small island garden to your lawn, or incorporate more containers, or plant some pretty flowers around a lamp post, or try a new color combination out in an existing border. Creating smaller garden vignettes can help you test out new ideas, add points of interest, pinpoint functional areas, and have more fun developing your outdoor spaces. We'll walk Bedrock Gardens together and study from examples, and look at ways you can try vignettes in your home gardens. You'll also learn different ways of laying out planting patterns to create vignettes within your gardens
