EarthKind Landscape Design School - REGISTER TODAY! Teaching environmental practices to homeowners to conserve and protect our natural resources.  The EarthKind Landscape Design School is conducted annually in the fall and is open to all individuals who desire to learn how to garden and landscape with a goal of reducing chemical inputs in maintaining a beautiful and sustainable landscape.
Those enrolled in the EarthKind Landscape Design School receive instruction in the areas of landscape design, best management practices, and in the selection of those plants best adapted to our region. A special feature is that those enrolled also receive a private consultation with a landscape consultant to get new ideas or to start a new landscape design for their homes.
The attendees in the 2006 school toured Greenbelt Gardens to preview hardscaping materials available for use in designing a landscape. While enjoying the beautiful verandas and water features, the attendees were treated to a catered lunch.
