Many gardeners and land managers find themselves constantly fighting Nature to maintain the aesthetic appeal they desire. Another approach is to work with naturally occurring elements and plants to achieve a landscape that is sensually, intellectually and emotionally satisfying. This workshop continues the demonstration and discussion of ecologically based naturalistic landscaping and its benefits. There will be information both for those familiar with wild landscaping and those new to it. With an understanding of natural processes, you will learn how to work with the land to develop an attractive and healthy landscape. If weather permits, most of the workshop will be spent in the woods and fields of Aton Forest, observing managed and natural habitats. There will be ample time for questions about participant's particular land management issues. Instructors are Larry Weaner and John Anderson.
Location: Aton Forest Headquarters, 270 North Colebrook Road, Norfolk CT.
Date: Wednesday, September 5, 2012 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.
Cost: $30 registration fee.
Lunch and refreshments provided.
