When designing your garden, it is important to break it up into zones according to on-site growing conditions, limitations, and where varying amounts of tending are desired.  It is also important to create a garden that not only nurtures nature but pleases the neighbors. This is because a beautiful, interesting garden is one of the best ways to influence the outlook of others.  Join me for a discussion and activity on how to assess your garden as a collection of zones; have a pencil and paper ready and a quick sketch of your property.
