Come and learn how to measure and design your garden on this 8 week course. Week by week you will be inspired by talks on horticulture, planting trends, design principles, garden styles, mood boards and colouring techniques. With plenty of studio time and guidance from a practising designer, learn to put your own creative ideas for the garden down on paper and realise those ideas in a practical way in time for next year.
