In this 5- week class, through lecture and hands-on learning, students will learn how to do a simple Landscape for Life site assessment of their property, create a checklist for garden renovation and new construction, learn what to ask if you're hiring a landscape designer, landscape architect, or contractor, and develop a checklist for choosing a new home site. The beautiful gardens at Highfield Hall will serve as examples from which to learn how to solve real-life challenges that you can translate to your own back yard. Barbara Conolly holds a BS degree and a master’s degree in Public Garden Leadership, both from Cornell University and is a Massachusetts Certified Landscape Professional. More at highfieldhall.org
