Garden Design with Grant Donald

The creation of a garden space can take time and money, but the fundamental aim is to create a space that you want. What do you like to do in the garden, what do you want to look at in the garden, what style do you like, is it sustainable, how much maintenance does it need? All these questions require thoughtful planning and implementation. Using the simple pencil and paper learn how to draw up your design to scale and start working on your plan. This course will help you to create a vison for your garden and help you through the process of turning this vision into reality.

What to bring:-

  •  A4 or A3 sketchbook
  • Pencil, eraser, sharpener
  • Scale Ruler (if you have one)
  • Any designs you have already sketched (if you have any - not necessary)
  • Inspiration/ideas/pictures of what you would like (if you have them)
