L1 Certificate in Garden Design

This is an introductory course that starts you thinking as a designer! You will put in place your ideas to design a wildlife garden using research on design and suitable plants to bring together ideas that can be put in place.

You will set out your design and implement the ideas so that you create a garden that provides a habitat for insects, animals and also an ecosystem for pond life.

It is a course that is ‘hands on and fun’ – bring boots, waterproofs and biscuits!

The units will be:

Drawing for Garden Design – (you don’t need to be able to draw!)
