Key facts

• Designing and building a garden is like creating a living sculpture. The secret to good design is effective planning, coupled with the skills and confidence to put your plans into practice. Although this short course in Designing Gardens is a 20 hour self-paced course, its coverage is extensive.

• There are seventeen lessons in this course from a basic introduction to garden design, to following a budget, plant selection, making the garden meet the house, different designs and using different features to complete your design. As you progress through each lesson you will be provided with a range of ways you can expand your learning. 
• By choosing which tasks you do and don’t undertake you can expand in areas that interest you most, and skip areas of less interest.

• At the end of each lesson, you will be given a short self assessment test to undertake, which will provide an indication of how your learning is progressing.  You can choose to undertake a more formal online assessment at the end of the course, if you wish, to obtain a formal ‘Certificate of Completion’.
