The 6 Week Garden Design Course is a great way to achieve a beautifully designed and planted garden without having to hire a professional.
The course will run for 6 Monday evenings from 7pm until 9pm, and each week Fiona will cover a different aspect of the garden design process, from the initial survey, to inspiration, history of garden design, outline proposals, hard landscaping and planting as well as graphic drawing skills. We share with you the practices and tricks that professionals use to greatly improve your garden design.
Each week a certain amount of homework is assigned, taking what has been discussed during the class and applying it to your own garden, while this is not mandatory it will ensure maximum benefits from the course.
At the end of the 6 weeks you will have created a design tailored to your garden, ready to be implemented to create your own little piece of paradise.
This course is ideal for those who have a keen interest in gardening and want to improve their own gardens without the time and expense of employing a professional garden designer.
