This presentation will explore the key elements of designing a woodland garden by understanding the forest’s three primary layers: the ground plane, middle plane, and overstory/canopy. We will discuss plant selection for each layer, focusing on how to seamlessly incorporate both native and non-native species. Learn how native plants enhance biodiversity and support wildlife, while well-chosen non-natives can complement the design. Practical tips on site assessment, soil, light, and moisture conditions will ensure your woodland garden thrives for years to come. Join us to gain the knowledge and tools to create a beautiful, sustainable woodland landscape.
