Garden Design Courses

As far as garden design courses are concerned, I have been a professional garden designer for 15 years, and have worked on a wide variety of projects from city centre courtyards to woodland wildernesses. I try to involve my clients in the design process whenever possible. This experience has taught me that with a little tutoring in the basic principles of garden design anyone can design their own perfect outdoor space. It has been my client’s continued interest in the design process that encouraged me to devise my city garden design courses.

The city garden design course itself is an intensive five day course that will enable you to design your own garden to a professional standard.

As you know, private city gardens are now becoming of huge importance to our everyday lives. At the most basic level, they encourage us to get outside into the fresh air. They put us and our children in touch with nature. They promote exercise and general well being. They nurture wild life and give us a private place to sit and simply relax.
