Suitable for
Highly motivated individuals who are committed to a career in professional garden design.
Whilst no previous experience is required, this is an intensive course requiring home study and the completion of project work at home in addition to the one day per week spent at the school.
Career changers are welcome and a lack of previous experience in drawing or with plant knowledge is not a barrier to entry.
Basic computer skills are required.
Interviews are conducted by Caroline Tatham as part of the selective application process and present a good opportunity for you to discuss your personal aims.
We also offer a three day ‘Gateway to Garden Design Course’ for those wishing to experience life as a garden designer, and we will deduct the cost of the gateway course from your one year course fee if you are successful in your application.
Group sizes and therefore places are limited but we do offer a waiting list once the course is full.
