My prior two landscaping courses covered the basics of landscaping and were geared to a wide audience. The "Alternative Landscaping" course, by contrast, is designed for a narrower, more "committed" crowd who, not content merely to have a pretty landscape, wish to dig a bit deeper and question our attitudes toward the landscape.
Some of the topics addressed in the Alternative Landscaping course include:
- Pest control without chemicals
- Companion Planting
- Earth Day
- Invasive plants
- Organic weed control
- "Green" lawn mowers
- Alternatives to lawns
- Re-evaluating "weeds"
- Woodland gardens
