September 2019 Schedule Part 1

Hello.  We are going to use this blog to highlight our upcoming September schedule.  There have been several members that were very busy this summer preparing for this new year.  We give a big Thank You to all of them.  There will be several articles in the next week showcasing the September Design Schedule.  Our first one is titled:

“Mother’s Garden”.  a Mass Design.  The NGC Handbook’s definition of a mass design includes the following:
   a. Characterized by using a large quantity of plant material
   b. Formed into a close silhouette, but not crowded
   c. Having no crossing lines
   d. Forms, colors, and textures placed to create interest

Below you will see several photos of Mass Designs.  Also, there are several more examples on the following blog:
