A successful garden is more than a collection of plants. It must be
DESIGNED FOR THE CLIMATE, the soil conditions, the welfare of the
local wildlife and the needs of the owners especially with regard to
its surroundings or ‘sense of place’.In this two-day course
(attend on 26 March and 2 April) you will learn about the foundations
of landscape design and develop the skills to create a garden that
feels good, performs for you, has longevity and evolves to provide you
with shade, shelter, privacy and protection.
STRUCTURE: What makes a garden ‘feel’ right? What is it about a
garden that elicits a sigh, makes you feel good? Long before your eyes
register the scene, you sense temperature, weather, aroma, ambience,
spatial integrity, shape and form.
CHARACTER: What makes a garden look good? Explore light, colour, and
texture; learn how to establish a theme and the essential components
of a beautiful garden space.
PERSONALITY: How do you make a garden that reflects you? It’s in the
detail. Explore the components of a garden that give it a personality
by adding the details.
