Classes

We are still developing our class schedule for the season and will offer classes taught by experts on vegetable gardening, water plants, plants for hot and sunny spots, deer resistant plants, drought tolerant beauties, and creating your own garden art.

This is a sample of the classes we offered last season.

• Basic Water Gardening 
  Water gardening is one of the most popular forms of gardening now.  Learn the basics of putting together your own design, including selecting the best plants and pots for your space.  Free, advance registration required.    

• Creat your own garden stone with Chi - 
  Create you own garden stone with renowned artist Chi Leary. Chi will help you create your own design on stone, then sandblast your designs into the rock which you pick up the following week. Advanced registration required, there will be a fee for materials. Stop by Summerland Gardens to see Chi's work or visit her website http://www.chileary.com/

• Make your own mosaic 
  Work with artist Beth Succop to design and create your own garden stone or clay garden pot out of mosaics.  Materials will be provided but you may bring your own broken pots, dishes or pottery for your tile pieces. Advanced registration required, there will be a fee for materials.

• Color in the Garden
  Join artist Jenny McIntyre to explore color theory in the garden from an artist's perspective.  Bring a sketchpad, paints, pens or just a notebook for notes as we discuss how colors can work together using any medium from oils and watercolors to plants themselves.  Advanced registration required, there will be a fee for materials. Jenny's work can be seen at Hayden Hayes gallery or on her website

• Making a Hypertufa pot
  Make your own hypertufa pot out of concrete mixed with peatmoss. These pots are lighter than most pots, have an aged appearance and make a great garden accent.  Pots will be made using molds and left to cure and be picked up the following week.  Advanced registration required, there will be a fee for materials.  For more info on hypertufa pots click here.
