Alais Fankhauser, a landscape designer with Greenscape Inc. in Holly Springs, will be speaking to Garden Club members on Garden Design. The event will take place at the Garden Club’s May monthly meeting, scheduled for May 8 at Bass Lake Park located at 900 Bass Lake Rd. from 7 to 8 p.m. The event is open to the public.
“Coming up with a design for a garden is intimidating for some people,” says Fankhauser. “Should it formal or informal? What do people mean when they talk about Charleston style gardens? What if you have a very small yard? There is not one right design that works for everyone. Garden design is very personal and should really be a reflection of the property owner.”
Fankhauser has been a landscape designer for more than 12 years. In addition to residential landscape design, she also traveled to Japan to rebuild homes and design the landscaping for the community center and the churches in Utatsu and Ishinomaki that were devastated by the tsunami.
