Whether you are planning a new project, or improving an existing area, knowing the facts about your site is the first step. This workshop will use the Bellefield Mansion landscape to practice a systematic approach to analyzing your own home. Site assessment is an honest “taking stock" exercise that ensures your plans and plants thrive, and that you meet your current uses and future goals. Feel free to bring your wish lists and questions.
