Whether you have a small town garden or something larger, there are some rules & guidelines that will help you design the garden you want.

Introduction to Garden Design will offer insights into what lies behind a beautifully designed garden and provide inspiration for your own.
For anyone who would like to better understand the rules and principles that underpin good garden design and begin to learn how to use them to get the most out of their own garden.

Introduction to Planting Design - Full Day
Monday 20th May 2024
10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Doddington Hall (The Coach House), Nr. Lincoln, Lincolnshire LN6 4RU, UK
While it may be possible to design a garden with only minimal planting, for most of us plants are the icing on the cake, or even the main event. Good planting can make or break a garden, or help elevate it to a different level. We will consider the principle considerations when it comes to designing with plants, the main types of plants, their characteristics and how to use them effectively.
This course is ideal for anyone who would like to get the most from the plants in their garden. You will learn how to see plants though fresh eyes, appreciate their different qualities and understand how to use them to create the effect you want.
Tea/coffee/biscuits provided.
£95 (limited to 12 places).

There are many ways in which our gardens can be made more environmentally friendly, from reducing our reliance on hard materials and making room for more plants, to thinking in terms of ‘habitat’ and making simple adjustments to how we look after them.
This course will show you how to design a beautiful modern garden that also has sustainability at its heart. We will consider ways of minimizing energy and carbon impact, maximizing biodiversity, how to use plants effectively and materials efficiently, all while developing an attractive, connected and resilient space fit for a changing climate.
