Suitable for keen gardeners and semi-professionals, this course enables students to produce a proficient garden design which includes hard and soft landscape sections and perspective drawings. Covering all elements of design, it provides a greater depth of understanding than the “Garden Design” course. As part of this course you will undertake a design project and visit two gardens on all day study tours. These tours will most likely take place on a Saturday.
