Led by local garden guru, Arielle McIntyre of Placemakers Academy of Garden Design
Mountain gardening comes with its own set of challenges—steep slopes, acidic soil, shade, and the occasional deer invasion. This beginner-friendly workshop, led by Arielle McIntyre, will teach you how to work with the land, not against it, to create a thriving, low-maintenance mountain garden. Learn to select native and deer-resistant plants, improve soil health, and design a sustainable landscape that flourishes in Western North Carolina’s unique terrain. Whether you’re new to gardening or just new to these mountains, this class will give you the tools to turn your landscape into a lush, resilient oasis.
About Arielle: Arielle knows mountain gardening isn’t just about planting—it’s about outsmarting the terrain. As co-creator of the Placemakers Academy of Garden Design and a designer at Dargan Landscape Architects, she brings a deep knowledge of resilient landscapes, creative problem-solving, and an appreciation for working with nature—instead of fighting it. Plus, she makes it all fun!
