In Class Lab: Sustainable Landscape & Garden Lab

Sustainable Landscape & Garden Lab and Presentation

We will start out as one big class, reviewing organic growing methods & techniques, sustainable landscape elements & methods covered in previous classes. Each student will then share about their individual native plants they researched. After the presentations we will break into groups for our lab activity.

Each group will be assigned a different landscaping scenario. The group will work together to design a project proposal using concepts we have discussed in class- sustainable landscape elements, organic growing methods, and the native plants you have researched and learned in class. The group will draw a diagram of the plan as well. Be creative! At the end of class groups will present their design and maintenance plan.

For your group presentation:

- Describe the type of property and the design parameters you had to work with
- Explain each element or growing method you chose to include in your design and why you chose to use them
- Show the diagram of your landscape plan
- Each student will teach the class about the native plant they researched
