Transform your outdoor space with help from an expert!

Join Landscape Designer Heather Jerrard (My Landscape Artist) for a hands-on workshop and lecture designed to demystify the garden planning process. Whether you are starting with a blank slate or refreshing a tired corner of your yard, this session provides the professional foundations and "tricks of the trade" needed to create a stunning, functional landscape.

Your morning begins with an exclusive tour of the Cambridge Sculpture Garden led by founder Judy Welsh, offering real-world inspiration in a serene setting. Following a foundational lecture at McDougall Cottage with Heather Jerrard, you’ll dive into a collaborative design workshop. With Heather’s expert guidance, you will draft a preliminary design for your own property, complete with dimensions, a curated plant list, and a material palette to bring your vision to life.
