Want a garden that is more unusual than usual? In this garden design class, you will learn about dark, spiky, leathery, and creeping plants for your goth-themed garden. From native plants in shade gardens to dark leaves and flowers in full-sun gardens, we will cover a variety of planting situations and seasonal interest.
During this class, we will cover a variety of plants for every planting situation and every season. We will also have a brief tour of the Garden to see some of the plants that we will discuss. In the second part of the class, we will discuss the basics of garden design and practice designing a small goth cottage garden. We will also discuss adding plants with flare to an existing garden to help bring it to the dark side.
Every garden needs some décor, and we will share a few ideas fit for the spookiest and most stylish house on the block. The goal is to help you plan your garden in the fall so that you can plant it in the following spring.
All materials included as well as a themed mocktail.
