This course, introduced in 2008, has been revised to expand the use of distance learning tools, so your learning experience begins before your first class session and extends well beyond the third and final day. Bruce Crawford, Director of the Rutgers Gardens, teams up with landscape designer and former Rutgers landscape program coordinator, Dominick Mondi, to introduce you to the broad range of skills that good landscape designers should master. You’ll discuss design ideas for patios, back yards, front yards, walkways, firepits, outdoor kitchens and gardens.
Design topics include:
• Site Analysis
• Spatial Analysis
• Circulation Study
• Designing in Layers
• The Design Interview
• Creating a Program
• Selecting the Right Plant for the Right Place
• Building Your Budget.
With the distance learning tools, you’ll have the option of working on design assignments that you can discuss and present in class.
