You will be equipped with the practical, managerial and academic skills to successfully design gardens and run a small business. You will also develop a range of transferable skills and knowledge, including business and contract management, creativity, innovation and problem solving. The course includes lectures and demonstrations, practical and creative drawing sessions, site visits, and the design of several ‘real’ gardens.
Through work experience you will develop the skills needed to work with a range of different clients, and to liaise with those in the horticultural and construction industries.
