  • Saturday, April 29, 2017 – 9:00 am–11:00 am

Consider the performance of your home landscape. Would you describe it as a fit, functional work of art that reflects your lifestyle and encourages outdoor activity? If not, join landscape designer Preston Montague at the JCRA for a design course series that will help you revise and reboot your outdoor space.

Preston with students in a practicum

Landscape Potential VI will help participants reimagine the way their backyard supports their lifestyle and encourages outdoor activity. This exciting two-part course begins with a presentation on strategies for designing an active backyard, followed by a practicum in which participants individually bring in photographs and maps of their property for a one-on-one consultation with Preston to solve any landscape challenges they may be facing.

By the end of the two-part course, participants will have not only been introduced to strategies for encouraging outdoor activity in the backyard, but will also have personalized professional advice for unlocking the potential of their home's most dynamic room!
