Discover practical strategies for creating beautiful, adaptable gardens that thrive in the face of changing environmental conditions. In this class, students will learn how to apply sustainable design principles to create landscapes that can withstand challenges such as extreme weather, invasive pests, and shifting climate patterns. We’ll explore drought-tolerant plant selection, tools for evaluating your landscape’s strengths and vulnerabilities, strategies for enhancing local biodiversity, and sustainable maintenance practices that support long-term resilience and recovery. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced gardener, you’ll gain the knowledge and inspiration to cultivate a healthy, resilient garden for the future.
