Description
Do you look at your garden and think, that's kind of boring!
Do you want to create a better looking garden but don't know how to start the process?
Do you ask yourself why some gardens seem so special?
If you answered yes to these questions then this course is for you.
This course will show you tricks that professional landscape designers use to create better spaces. It will show you lots of examples both from my garden and others so that you can really understand the design principals.
I am a big believer in learning the "WHY" and not just the "HOW". Once you understand the why, the how becomes so much easier to learn and understand. In this course I will explain design principals and then show you why they work so you know when and when not to use them.
THIS COURSE WILL COVER THE FOLLOWING:
Design principals such as focal points, elevation, hidden destinations
I'll show you ways to make a plain pathway into something really special
Tricks to make a small space look bigger
How to select and place art to best effect

The information in this course is an accumulation of professional training and over 40 years of practical experience. I'll not only give you the technical information, but I will also provide you with my personal insights. You will learn things that took me a lifetime to learn by trial and error.

My name is Robert Pavlis and I live in southern Ontario which is hardiness zone 5 in Canada and US systems. I have been gardening for more than 30 years – I stopped counting at 30! I am a Master Gardener and speak about gardening at many local gardening events and horticulture meetings.
I wave written several books in including Building Natural Ponds, Garden Myths Books 1 and 2, and Soil Science for Gardeners. I also publish two blogs GardenMyths and GardenFundaments as well as teach local courses in gardening and garden design.
A few years ago, I bought 6 acres of land and have developed a large private garden called Aspen Grove Gardens. We now have about 3,000 perennials, grasses, shrubs and trees.
I am a plantaholic!
I have a background in chemistry and biochemistry and it is this background that helps me research topics and understand the underlying science behind things. Once I understand the topic it is then my task to present the information in an easy to understand style that is both informative and fun.
