NEWS‼️ The Small Garden Design Course - this course is BACK and is starting again this autumn
Would you like to take part in this course?
Designing your own garden - it’s back!
I’m so happy to let you know that I’ll once again be running this hugely popular garden design course, and we’ll be starting in a few weeks’ time.
The aim of this course is to equip you with the confidence to design your own garden, wherever it may be. Even if the space feels small or impossible, we’ll figure out a solution. You might have followed this course previously, or you might be completely new to it: all-comers of every level are welcome. It’ll consist of posts, optional assignments, and Zoom chats. You can be as private as you like as you follow this course - I won’t make you share anything or speak if you don’t want to. It’s all on your terms.
If you’re already a paid subscriber, you’ll automatically be part of this so you don’t have to click anything.
Readers who have followed along before, either actively or just out of interest, will confirm that you can also dip in and out of the course as you like - it’s as relaxed as you want it be.
Although I say ‘small’, this course is relevant for any-sized garden. You may have a tiny garden you want to design, or you may have a smaller space within a bigger garden, that needs dealing with. Whatever the size of your outside space, it doesn’t matter - I assure you that you can do something with it and it’ll make your life better. It really will.
No previous skills are required, just an interest in the idea that you can design your own garden!
So how does it work?
This course is for paid subscribers, so if you’d like to join in, please subscribe now
The course will be accompanied by Zoom gatherings, which will be recorded so that you can follow along in your own time.
SMALL GARDEN DESIGN ZOOM:
This Small Garden Design course will kick off on Sunday 20th October at 6.30pm UK time - I’ll send the invitation out nearer the time. The Zoom will be recorded so that you can catch up in your own time.
I’ve planned the course to last around 3-4 months, so we’ll be rounding up towards the end of February. Posts will all live in the new Section which you might have spotted: this means that you can find the relevant posts easily and that you can switch email notifications on/off:
What will the course require from you?
This is SO simple:
A space you’d like to use as your subject
A dedicated notebook - yay, a chance to use that notebook! And/or an A4 ringbinder to keep your loose sheets in
Some tracing paper, pens and pencils. Any tracing paper is fine.
A scale rule possibly - but not essential
Some sort of cheap masking tape can come in handy when you’re using tracing paper
That’s it.
AsI say, it might be that you’re simply an interested onlooker - a garden enthusiast or a design student - in which case, just bring yourself.
Each week, we’ll cover one topic and there will be an optional assignment for you to work on as part of your garden project
