Impact Report 2009 HOMESCAPE COURSE Many new homeowners have moved in recent years to Sandoval County. Many bought new homes with little or no landscaping. They are at a loss as to what to do with their properties. Requests began coming to the extension office wanting help in assisting them with design and landscape. Three master gardeners came up with a course where these people go design and put a plan together for their property "Homescape Solutions." They instructed them to bring current diagrams from home. How to plan a landscape was based on their immediate and future desires. 21 residents attended and they all completed designs for their yards. Many were grateful as they had called architects, landscape designers and had been quoted several hundred dollars for the work they did themselves. They were given tours, adaptable plant lists and how to design focal points.
