In this first ever workshop, Greg and Leo will share their knowledge and design secrets on:
· Why a dry stream bed is important in a water wise landscape
· How to design and structure a dry stream bed
· Choosing the right size rocks and boulders
· Adding the final “Magic Touches” to create a natural look
Spend the morning, afternoon, or the whole day: You will be provided with “hands on” training in creating a dry stream bed with onsite materials. Heavy rocks and boulders will be moved and positioned with equipment and attendees will do the rest!
Who Should Attend: Homeowners, Landscape designers/architects, contractors, and garden societies.
What to Bring: Pen & paper, gloves, shovels, pickaxes, hats, reusable water bottle & folding chair. Please wear a mask if you are not fully vaccinated against Covid-19. You will be asked to sign a waiver at check in.
