Join us in Portland, Oregon for a unique day of landscape design using the Watershed Approach. This class puts professional landscape designers, agency professionals, and contractors next to each other to help everyone make the most out of their landscape. In the morning we will be getting the not-so-basic “basics.” After a delicious lunch, we work in teams in a hands-on design seminar.
This six-hour interactive workshop identifies the steps for successfully designing a watershed wise landscape – including:
- See your garden as a mini-watershed
- Create Living Soil that holds onto water
- Treat rainwater as an abundant resource
- Remove unwanted turf without using chemicals
- Select the right plant for the right place
- Manage irrigation to eliminate waste and runoff
- Contour the landscape for maximum rainwater capture
- Create a list of climate appropriate plants
- Place plants on a property plan according to water needs and key design principles
For professional landscape designers and contractors, learn about the “new normal” in landscapes — the Watershed Approach helps your clients conserve water, improve water quality, build healthy living soil for the benefit of healthy plants, all without sacrificing the beauty we’ve come to appreciate in Oregon landscapes.
