You want your yard to not only look its best but be its best at
meeting your family’s needs. You just don’t know enough about
landscape design to create a place that does that. Cheer up.
The University of Georgia has created a one-day program just
for you.

The UGA horticulture faculty will present “Landscape Design
Basics for the Do-It-Yourself Gardener” Oct. 15 on the Athens,
Ga., campus.

The program will start at 8 a.m. and end at 4:15 p.m. at the
Miller Plant Science Building Auditorium. It will cover the
basics of designing your home landscape.

Learn how to develop a site plan and lay out different use
areas. Find out how to choose the right plant for the right
place and get a top-10 list of plants for problem places like
shady, wet and dry areas. Grasp the basics of using seasonal
color. And see how to use proper planting techniques to ensure
a successful landscape.

Get all that and lunch, too, for $20. You have to preregister,
though. A brochure with a registration form is on-line at http://pubs.caes.uga.edu/caespubs/landscape-
design.htm.
