Discovering the Garden as Spirit,
Art and Earth
October 19-21
Cost: $325
The Red Spirit Retreat

As a place of discovery, the countryside has much to
offer us. In providing space, it allows us to explore
more freely the elements of spirit, art and earth. When
we learn to recognize and honor the landscape levels that
comprise depth, we can take those experiences home and
implement them in our own gardens. By extending this consciousness
of our green spaces, we can become part of the solution
that is working towards a sustainable planet.
Before the workshop, please read the book Nature, Spirits
and Elemental Beings by Marko Pogacnik (by Findhorn Press
and easily available on Amazon). This workshop will be
lead by Julie Siegel of www.J.SiegelDesigns.com . I'm
including Julie's bio: "Fine Gardening magazine describes
Julie as having combined her background in dance, animation,
architecture and writing with her love of plants to create
gardens that are full of energy and speak to the larger
regional aesthetics. Being raised by a photographer and
a painter guaranteed Julie's creative sensibility. Her
decades of teaching and public speaking developed strong
communication skills and independent thought. These have
become essential tools for assisting clients in transforming
the abstract ideas that eventually become manifest as
landscapes. Julie's involvement with various community,
environmental, and social projects links her professional
activity with her humanitarian beliefs." Enough said.
But, so much offered. |

Oftentimes when we imagine agarden's design or improvements
to an existing landscape, we forget to consider how much light
effects how we see the color or texture of plants. This class
will discuss examples of using light to your advantage. A starting
point will be examining how some of the great artists used light,
color and texture. Then these methods will be applied to garden
design. |

of Light: A Garden Design Seminar with
Julie Siegel
Tuesday, October 7, 9am to 12:30pm
Garden in the Woods, Framington, MA
http://www.newfs.org
Co-Sponsored by Wellesley College Friends of
Horticulture and the Arnold Arboretum at Harvard

Light, depending on time of day, weather, season, and other
factors, greatly influences our perceptions. In this seminar
for garden and landscape designers, Julie Siegel will explore
the effects of light and shadow on our gardens. Learn techniques
for enhancing colors and textures and manipulating our sense
of space by using natural light advantageously. Landscape designer
Julie Siegel will discuss examples from the larger landscape,
the arts, and some of her company's projects to highlight often-overlooked
steps in the process. Participants will have an opportunity
to hone their observation skills and apply them to specific
model sites. |

Before&
After: Scaling the Steps of Landscape Design
Saturday, October 4, 10 am - 3 pm
The Polly Hill Arboretum
West Tisbury, Massachusetts
"Before and After" shots especially engage gardeners.
In this class, landscape designer, Julie Siegel, clarifies the
process. Through examples from client projects, she will walk
you through the design steps she paces when creating a new or
revised landscape. Emphasizing both individual and integrated
creativity as well as attunement to the environment, her approach
begins with an in-depth examination of internal and external
factors that comprise each person's orientation to the landscape.
Then, she will focus on in-depth assessment & analysis.
Julie believes that to realize a well-designed landscape, the
gardener must first thoroughly explore particular site conditions
as well as their own dreams for the space. Participants will
learn how to recognize and to enhance drama in the garden. Her
conclusion addresses commonly experienced design challenges
and presents helpful criteria for plant choice. Bring a bag
lunch.
Meet at the Wakeman Center.
$50 for members
