courses

The Garden Design Academy is a specialist school offering training in garden design, CAD, horticulture and gardening: subjects in which its expertise has been honed by decades of practical experience.

Courses range from those aimed at the keen home gardener, through to a programme supporting professionals seeking to improve or learn new skills.

Some things are best learned face-to-face, with personal input from a tutor always available. Our residential short-courses and workshops meet this need by providing accommadation and lecture rooms in delightful surroundings.

Our distance learning courses have been written by professionals to provide a comprehensive, structured syllabus supported by regular contact with the Academy's Principle Tutor, Colin Elliott.

By appointment we will telephone our European students while for those further afield we use Skype, email and the post to stay in touch. You are never on your own with the Garden Design Academy and it is the quality of this support that sets us apart as trainers.

New courses, in a range of subjects, levels and prices, are being added all the time, so it is worth visiting often to see what is available. For more details go to our distance learning or residential courses pages.
