Landscape Design 1

When: 
Tuesday, March 4, 2025 to Tuesday, April 8, 2025
Where: 

Berkshire Botanical Garden

This course taught from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. and presented by Tyler Horsley, will introduce students to the design process — the systematic way designers approach a site and client. Learn design principles such as form, balance, repetition, line, texture, color, and spatial relationships. The course will include a series of simple projects that will end with a garden designed by the students. Additionally, students will be introduced to landscape history and how it helps the designer resolve and inspire garden design.

Tyler earned a master’s degree in architecture from the University of Virginia, a Certificate in Horticulture from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and is a registered architect in New York.
