This informal taster day presents an opportunity for both the amateur and more experienced gardener to gain an insight into the world of garden design through a series of talks and examples of professional garden design with lots of inspiration along the way.
You will learn how to transform your ideas into a plan and layout that can be used to develop and/or transform a garden. Through a series of exercises, you will follow the essential stages of garden design, with reference to landscaping, surveying techniques, aesthetic considerations and planting. By the end of the day you will be equipped with the tools to better reorganise the space of your existing garden or to design your perfect garden from scratch.
Pauline is passionate about her subject, enjoys sharing knowledge and encourages her students to do the same.
