Designing a Master Garden Plan #2

Visualize a small courtyard garden in this space…draw lines of beauty on the photograph to represent bed lines.

Use the outline form and sketch the plant masses you find inspirational. This does not have to be to scale. The 3’circle will act as your guide.

Make a list of plants you would like to see in this garden.

The centerline is an invaluable tool for organizing difficult spaces…

Sketch a bilaterally symmetrical garden design superimposed on this photo

Trace the line quality to learn line of beauty techniques

Make a list of plants you would use in these 3 instances. Divide up plants into Tree, Shrub,Ground Cover, Accent.

Transfer plants from photograph #2 onto this base…by eye (This study is an optional exercise)
