Designing the Small Garden

Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania, Neighbor

Taught by Denis Lucey, Landscape Designer, Denis Lucey Garden Design
Our region is known for large private and public gardens, but many people contend with gardening in limited spaces. These include people living in condominium complexes, retirement communities, and attached houses in the city and suburbs. Landscape designer Denis Lucey believes that small gardens, while challenging, can be a equally gratifying. He will review basic design principles that include planning for garden usage, the value of borrowed landscapes, and the importance of hidden “garden rooms.” He will provide keys for working with single conditions (sun or shade) over an entire garden, as well as making use of micro-climates. With help from the instructor, students will work on a sample garden design in class. Materials will be provided.
