A Garden in Your Mind's Eye, at Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain, MA. Garden design incorporates philosophy, aesthetics, economics, and theories as well as practicalities. In this class, designer Tony Bernstein teaches about core design principles, but will also coach you to clarify what you desire of a garden. Through exercises and discussions, he encourages you to be introspective to develop design concepts that are reflective of your personality and lifestyle. Hell also train your eye to consider the architecture and land that will surround your garden. Melding your inner visions with external factors, you will begin to develop a satisfying and cohesive garden design. In this class explore: foundations, philosophies and aesthetics of design, sensibilities and practicalities and finish with rough sketches and plenty of ideas to develop during the winter.
