Introduction to garden design

Across five sessions, you will explore design principles, ideas and inspiration, simple surveying and scale drawing, planning for the right plant in the right place, as well as developing a layout plan for your own garden and learning how to ensure year-round structure and interest. Numbers on this course are limited to ensure plenty of opportunities for support and discussion with the tutor and fellow participants. The price is for all five sessions which cannot be booked individually.
