How to Design a Serene Oasis with Color, Texture, and Sound
Transform that neglected, shady corner of your yard into your absolute favorite place to unwind. Join us for our Shade Garden Sanctuary seminar, where we will unlock the secrets to designing a lush, tranquil oasis that thrives out of the direct sun.
In this session, you’ll discover how to move beyond basic green and master the art of visual design in the shade. We will explore how to craft a tapestry of contrasting textures and unexpected colors using gorgeous, shade-loving favorites like:
- Hostas: Offering bold, broad leaves in striking steel-blues, variegated creams, and vibrant chartreuse.
- Ferns: Bringing light, airy, and feathery elegance to add movement and softness.
- Coral Bells (Heuchera): Adding rich, year-round drama with foliage ranging from brilliant amber to deep merlot.
We will also discuss how to engage all your senses by layering in soothing sensory elements. Learn how the gentle splash of a water feature, the soft melody of wind chimes, or the lively presence of a bird feeder can elevate a simple garden bed into a truly therapeutic sanctuary.
Whether you are dealing with deep woodland shade or a dappled side-yard border, you will leave this seminar with the inspiration, design principles, and plant recipes you need to get growing.
This seminar will be held outside weather permitting.
