The Nitty-Gritty of Susatinable Garden Design
Pre-conference Workshop
Thursday September 23rd at 10:00 am
East Paadena Water Company
Join landscape architect Mark Bartos for a fascinating fact-filled
workshop at the site of a very handsome, low-water and low
maintenance garden he designed for a public facility to make it fit
in with the residential character of the neighborhood. Learn about
his plant choices, irrigation decisions, budget considerations, and
hardscape details. How do you figure out all the elements of an
exceptional design and get the job done right the first time? Mark
has a wealth of experience designing many kinds of gardens, and
this nuts and bolts workshop will help you understand the myriad
decisions that must be made to successfully design and complete a
landscape that will fulfill your needs.
