Landscape Planning and Planting

My new course, "Landscape Planning and Planting," is the perfect follow-up to my longer, original course, "Landscaping -- A Yard at a Time." Sign up below for free!

The "Landscape Planning and Planting" course is more targeted and shorter (36 daily lessons). Although a few lessons do present specialized topics (for example, garden fountains and color theory), the course focuses on practical planting plans and maintenance.

We'll discuss the virtues of a number of plants, organized according to the growing conditions for which they are suitable. Got problems areas in your yard (shady spots, sunny spots, or wet spots)? We'll find a plant to solve your problem. We'll look at achieving year-round visual interest in the yard through trees and other plants, and you'll also learn how to keep your landscaping low-maintenance.
