Landscape Design School | Registration Now Open!

Registration is Now Open for Landscape Design School 12/01 – 12/02

Landscape Design School

This curriculum, offered in a series of four courses, covers a wide range of subjects: landscape design and its history, landscape architecture and horticulture in the landscape. After successful completion of all four courses students will become Landscape Design Consultants. The general public may attend, but only persons belonging to a federated garden club will receive the certificate. These courses comprise a two-day series of classes and are taught by professional instructors. Required text for the series is Stewards of the Land: A Survey of Landscape Architecture and Design in America ($40 plus shipping and handling) published by National Garden Clubs, Inc. Also required is a subscription to National Gardener. Courses do not have to be taken in chronological order; for instance, if you take courses 1, 2, and 4 in one District but miss the 3rd, you can attend that course in another District at a later time.

In addition to delicious refreshments and our regular business meeting, our speaker is none other than Dr. Bruce Gillett, one of the area’s leading experts on all things roses. He is a neurologist, a published author, a Lifetime Cobb County Master Gardener and he serves on its Board of Directors. He is an American Rose Society Consulting Rosarian who has helped design and establish community rose gardens such as Rose Lawn in Cartersville and Smith-Gilbert Gardens in Kennesaw.

Dr. Gillett’s articles have appeared in newspapers and national publications. His book of love poems, “Quarter-Peeled Oranges,” a tribute to his wife, Dale, who died of breast cancer, has raised more than $11,000 for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. He will be glad to sign books that are purchased.
