Garden Design: Landscaping

Every garden has the potential to be beautiful! In this course you will design the garden of your dreams, no matter what your gardening experience or drawing abilities. Focusing on the most important aspect – landscaping – you will confidently create a garden to suit your style and needs.

Description

In this fun and interactive class you will be inspired to find answers to develop a simple makeover or design a grand new plan for your own outdoor area. Find solutions to problems and with creativity, develop your own design to suit your site and character.


By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:
 
• Anticipate what hardscaping is required and draw up a full plan for a garden / outdoor space.
• Identify and take into account your preferred style, wish list and work to site conditions (including location and aspect of the property.)
• Accurately draw your detailed design on paper and to scale.
• Use your drawing to build the garden yourself or use it to consult a builder/landscaper to do the hardscaping on your behalf.
• Identify what materials will produce the style / preferred end result
• Work to a budget or know what range of budget to anticipate
 
Please note that this course DOES NOT include:
 
• Planting design, although inclusion of trees will be considered in part of this course. Planting design is expected to be available in a later course.
• Building the garden
• Learning skills to build your garden
• Recommendation of contractors and suppliers for hardscaping


Please bring some scrap paper, a notebook, pens, pencils and an eraser.
 
It is highly recommended you take photos of the area. Bring these in to discuss in class as “personal case studies”.
