Garden Design Perspective Drawing: From Concept to Sketch

When: 
Saturday, February 28, 2026
Where: 

Berkshire Botanical Garden

Learn to bring your design ideas to life through clear, compelling perspective sketches on Sat., February 28 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Taught by Tom Smith of Springfield Technical Community College, this course introduces the fundamentals of freehand one-point and two-point perspective drawing, essential skills for communicating spatial concepts in garden and landscape design. Begin by sketching simple objects and small garden scenes, then build your skills toward illustrating larger, more complex spaces such as front yards, patios and planting designs. Emphasis will be placed on accurate proportion, depth and clarity, ensuring your drawings effectively convey your vision in ways that flat plan or bird’s-eye views cannot. Perfect for designers, students and gardeners looking to strengthen their visual communication and present ideas with confidence.
