In addition to attending tutorials and lectures, during this course you will work with real clients and gardens where you get to survey a site, interview your clients and design the garden. This hands-on approach allows you to gain valuable “real world” experience and practical skills as well as a highly respected qualification.
This course will give you everything you need to implement a successful landscape design philosophy, the skills to oversee the development of projects and the confidence to play a key role in the construction processes of landscape design.
