Designing Green Spaces for Your Home
|
Create your dream garden, whether on a terrace, on a balcony, or even indoors, taking into consideration the needs of your space
Would you like to make nature a bigger part of your life? According to Kathrin Grimm, landscape architect and founder of Aplenosol, gardens provide us with a getaway from the big city and also help us tackle modern-day environmental issues.
In this course, she teaches you how to design a garden tailored to you and wherever you live. Discover the steps involved in the creative process and the key factors that determine the course of a project. Define the style of your space and identify what features you need to create your dream oasis.
Kathrin Grimm opens the course by telling you about who she is, what she does, her career, and her biggest influences. She also explains what her profession entails and gives you a broad overview of landscaping and the historic moments that have shaped it.
Learn how to translate your ideas and express them graphically on paper. Do a site analysis of your space, studying features like views, sunlight, and the microclimate, and look at a case study with your teacher for comparison.
Kathrin then teaches you how to put together the perfect plant palette for your project. Discover what soil these plants need and how to arrange them for optimal growth before seeing how to create a list of materials and prepare a budget.
Now it’s time to get your hands dirty! Build your garden from the ground up: prep and clean your space, create a layout, pour soil and other materials to plant your greenery, add decorative elements and amenities, and arrange it all into your personal oasis.
