Whether in a professional's hands or our own, residential landscape design is both an art and a science. Creating a design for your property that reflects your aesthetic point of view is the art; ensuring that the design is in sync with its natural surroundings is the science.

Whatever your aspirations, Michele Palmer, professional landscape architect and former professor of landscape architecture at Cornell, will help you bring them to life. Michele's thoughtful lectures will give you a foundational understanding of design concepts, while field trips to the Cornell Botanic Gardens and other notable grounds will give you opportunities to analyze landscape challenges and constraints. By week's end, you'll return home with the knowledge and inspiration to develop your own outdoor oasis.

This program is part of Cornell’s Adult University (CAU), which offers education vacations designed and led by Cornell faculty. Programs include off-campus travel adventures and weeklong on-campus summer courses open to all, including Cornell alumni, families, and friends.
