Design your own Garden: 6 session course

Wednesday 14th January - Monday 23rd February | 10:30am - 1:00pm

Are you dissatisfied with your garden? It may be new to you or it may need up-dating, or you may wish to revamp part of a larger garden.  If so, this course is for you…

Our aim is to inspire you to create a really beautiful outdoor space, a sanctuary to enjoy.  The focus will be on design, the hard landscaping and the planting.

You will be based at the Garden House with its plants, structural elements and materials used as part of our key resources.  The garden is a great source of ideas – for example: the lawn has been replaced with a gravel garden, a radical move but very much in tune with our warmer, drier summers.

As part of the course, we will visit another designed and planted garden for more inspiration, plus have input from an experienced hard-landscaper as to what materials to use to realise your plan.

You will learn how to:

  • Optimise the space
  • Assess your site and draw up a plan
  • Hone your ideas to create a harmonious and balanced design
  • Plan a garden that is pleasing throughout the year

We have up-to-date books/materials and other resources to ignite your imagination for both refining your design and using interesting plants.  You will enjoy an inspiration list of gardens and designers to borrow ideas from, places to visit, nurseries to use and places to source materials.

Dates: six sessions 14, 21, 28 January, and 4, 11, 23 February

Cost: £350 – to include materials, cake and refreshments.

PLEASE BOOK ONLINE.  If you are unable to pay online, please contact us.
