Peter Shaw talks about his philosophical and hands on approach to his design.
Peter Shaw is the Creative Director at Ocean Road Landscaping, a local landscaping company. He is noted for a “take notice” approach to his work which is highlighted in his 2021 book Soulscape: Connecting Gardens to Landscape.
Peter will be at the Torquay Library to talk about his philosophical and hands on approach to his design. He will focus on helping the community to understand how to keep-it-simple and how best to use local materials.
Peter will be offering direction and encouragement to individuals tackling their own gardening projects. Questions about your garden are welcome.
The Seed Library operates out of the Torquay Branch. Pick up some seeds for FREE and donate your own.
