SUMMARY:Introduction to Mountain Gardening
DESCRIPTION:Saturday May 30th\, 2026 | 1pm\nChoose-Your-Price: ($5 -$30)\nYour mountain property is not a blank canvas. It’s a slope. It’s shade. It’s soil that would make a flatlander nervous. And if you have deer… well\, you know. \nThe good news? Every one of those things is workable. This beginner-friendly workshop with Arielle McIntyre is built for people who are new to gardening\, new to these mountains\, or both. You’ll leave with a real plan: which plants to put where\, how to stop fighting your soil\, and how to build a garden that actually takes care of itself. \nWhat You’ll Cover: \n\nReading Your Property: How to look at your yard the way a designer does: slope direction\, shade patterns\, water movement\, and what your soil is actually telling you before you buy a single plant\nWorking With Acidic Mountain Soil: What grows well in it\, what doesn’t\, and how to stop treating it like a problem to overcome\nPlants That Earn Their Keep: Native species and deer-resistant selections that thrive here without constant attention from you\nThe Shade Question: Which plants will actually perform under a tree canopy and how to layer them so the shaded spots become some of the best-looking areas on your property\nDeer Strategy: Honest\, field-tested guidance on what actually discourages deer browsing (and what the deer have long since figured out)\nDesigning for Low Maintenance: How to think about plant placement\, spacing\, and succession so your garden gets better over time rather than requiring more work\n\nThis class is perfect for those who aren’t long-time gardeners\, or those folks with a ton of experience but aren’t accustomed to the unique ecosystem found in the southern Appalachian mountains. \nAbout Arielle: Arielle McIntyre doesn’t just know what grows here; she knows how to make it beautiful. As the owner of Kintyre Design and co-creator of the Placemakers Academy of Garden Design\, she brings years of working with resilient\, regionally grounded plantings to every project. \nPurchase your ticket at our new\, secure online portal here!
