Landscape Design Charette

Start Date/Time:

End Date/Time:

Hone your design skills and focus your energy on time management through a series of guided design scenarios with Dr. Robert Schutzki and Matthew Ross from The Botanic Garden at Historic Barns Park.  Balancing the client’s needs within the constraints of the existing site conditions is a time-consuming process.  Learn tricks and techniques in this interactive design charette as we design collaboratively in small groups.  In order to enhance the process and encourage networking, you’ll be encouraged to work with colleagues from other companies during the session.
