  • Design principles such as using the color wheel, structure, texture and height in edible landscape design
  • "Design your own edible landscape" - during the second hour you will participate in a 'hands-on' workshop, applying the skills you just learned designing and planting a 'mini' edible landscape container that you can take home.
