Helping members develop greater appreciation of the environment, both natural and manmade.
Landscape Design Schools offer a series of four 10-hour courses. The courses cover learning about your ecosystem, the principles and elements of landscape design, the landscape design process, the history of landscape design and designing for the environment, among many other topics.
Since its founding in 1958, professional instructors have maintained the high standards originally incorporated in the study program. Students acquire the tools for making their own gardens more beautiful and easier to maintain. Students have been motivated to serve in political decision-making areas where awareness of the impact of a well-designed landscape can enhance the beauty and enjoyment of life in the public arena.
The courses are intended primarily for garden club members, but are open to the general public. Courses may be sponsored by member clubs, groups of clubs, councils, districts and state garden clubs. Garden club members completing the series of four courses are awarded the designation of NGC Landscape Design Consultant. To maintain Consultant status, continuing education is required. Single-subject and Multiple Refreshers provide advanced study opportunity and the occasion to interface with other Consultants. Participation in Consultant Councils is encouraged as one means of using the knowledge gained from this educational program.
Information on Landscaping for OKlahoma: I received this newsletter for Landscape School. I failed to include a chairman for this, but I thought you all would like the information.
Notice that there are new guides for Landscape School on the NGC website. If any of you would like to hold a school, please let me know. If you have someone in your district that would be interested in the information, please pass it along to them.
See you in October! Remember, if you cannot attend, you are asked to send a representative with your President’s report.
