Students in the Residential Landscape Design class presented their designs to a homeowner.
Early in the semester, the class visited a home in Blacksburg to see the space they would design for, took measurements, and learned from the homeowners what they would like to see.
Over the next six weeks, students refined their designs, using existing features, while also picking the plants and hardscape features that will brighten the space and increase functionality for the homeowners.
Once the work was complete, the students presented their designs to the homeowners, giving them ideas to spruce up their property.
Homeowner Annie Hesp was pleased with the designs, saying, “This is the most excited I’ve been about our yard in the 10 to 12 years we’ve lived here.”
Local residents who are interested in participating in the future can contact course Instructor Scott Douglas (dsd1@vt.edu).
