Woodland Gardening -- Two Approaches

Visit two private gardens, and in each garden discuss how different areas of each were created. The advantages and disadvantages of "total advance soil preparation" or "bit-by-bit and elimination and augmentation of plant material" will become obvious, and may help you determine how to approach your own project. Subtleties of how the varying amounts of shade and the orientation of paths affect various species will be illustrated and emphasized. Bring a bag lunch.
