Start off April -- World Landscape Architecture Month -- with inspired design! We introduce several design-focused classes starting this month and going through the summer. Landscape Architect and Visual Artist Preston Montague teaches our asynchronous fundamentals class that introduces participants to design principles, site assessment and planning, among other topics. 

Gain a better understanding of what comes into play in creating and managing sustainable and aesthetically appealing landscapes. You will come away empowered to be more creative, instinctive, decisive and purposeful in understanding good design and more adept at recognizing what’s not. The course includes two learning modules accessed online (asynchronous) along with an opportunity for live (synchronous) and lively discussion with the instructor and other participants.

See Landscape Design Fundamentals: Approaches to Design, a live-time synchronous class and design charrette scheduled for Wednesday, April 26.

Preston Montague is an artist, educator, and landscape architect who developed a passion for the natural world while growing up in the rural foothills of Virginia. He works in Durham, N.C., focusing on projects that encourage stronger relationships between people and their environment.
