After a few seasons of beauty and ecological contribution, some landscapes can become overgrown and no longer serve their original intention. What is the next step? How do you create a revised vision for new circumstances in your existing green space? Join AHS to study examples of the garden revitalization process and to apply the steps to your own landscape, including how to identify your current garden challenges, set new objectives, re-assess your site, and determine which plant material and design concepts to maintain or change. We will also address key design principles and site preparation tips for installation.
