Big ideas come in small spaces; learn how to make your patio, back yard, or other compact space a personal oasis with the right plants.

Join us at Marin Art and Garden Center for the next installment of our How Does Your Garden Grow? hands-on lecture series, focused on designing beautiful, personal gardens, whether that means a patio retreat, compact backyard, or an intimate acre.

Garden expert Jill Sowards of Violetear Studios will guide you through creating a space that feels intentional, balanced, and uniquely yours. Learn how to map out your existing layout, select plants for year-round interest, and refresh your garden with thoughtful updates to placement, soil, and hardscaping.

BONUS! You’ll also receive a detailed garden design guide featuring plant lists for sun and shade, soil improvement tips, and material recommendations, giving you practical tools to confidently move from inspiration to action.

Perfect for beginners and seasoned gardeners alike, this engaging workshop will help you transform any “small” space into a thriving, beautiful garden sanctuary.
