Adult Programs

This course will introduce the student to the steps involved in the landscape design process. Guided by a registered Landscape Architect, participants will explore topics ranging from Deep Observation, Problem Identification and Developing Design Intent, to examining the concepts of Landscape Scale, Materiality and Movement to, from and within a site. The goal of this course is to fundamentally alter the way we look at the process of manipulating our outdoor spaces through the process of crafting a landscape story which flows through the space and informs all aspects of your design. This program is part of the Hattie Meadows Gardening School, a free community learning project to spread knowledge and love of gardening. Classes will take place at the Stanford L. Warren Library from January through June 2026.
