Description: Your 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. The 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.
Class Basics:
  • Reading 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
  • Working With Acidic Mountain Soil: What grows well in it, what doesn’t, and how to stop treating it like a problem to overcome
  • Plants That Earn Their Keep: Native species and deer-resistant selections that thrive here without constant attention from you
  • The 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
  • Deer Strategy: Honest, field-tested guidance on what actually discourages deer browsing (and what the deer have long since figured out)
  • Designing for Low Maintenance: How to think about plant placement, spacing, and succession so your garden gets better over time rather than requiring more work
Class Detail: This 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.
Instructor Bio: 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.
