Creative Planting Design

Plants are at the heart of our gardens, and – with a little creative planting – you can make sure that you have year-round interest in your beds and borders.

This three-week short course will help you explore a range of plants to create interest in your garden every season, as well as looking at how to create cohesion and unity in design. Using a variety of plant forms, colours, textures and habits we will explore how to select plants to suit your site, build resilience in a changing climate and plan creative, inspiring and long lasting plantings.

By the time you finish this short-course, you will be buzzing with inspiration, ideas, and the skills needed to build a creative planting design for your garden, no matter the space.
