Is your garden as beautiful as you want it to be?
If you’ve ever had a go at trying to do ‘something’ with your garden, either as a complete beginner or even experienced gardener, you’ve probably found it was harder than you thought to create the look you want.
Your dream garden is achievable
Why is it SO difficult to get the garden to look good?
Because garden design ISN’T easy IF you try to learn how to do it from a book.
Why? Because garden design is a BIG subject and a lot of garden design books are made to look good on the coffee table rather than show exactly how to design. What tends to happen is books skim over the surface and assume you know how to do things. Sentences like ‘visualise the plan and gauge the effectiveness of the vertical elements within your design.’ Isn’t the most helpful sentence if you are new to trying to learn how best to create a nice garden!
What you really need is to know is exactly HOW to do it. Not wishy washy designer speak – actual HOW TO. In plain English. And video demonstrations would be pretty handy to help explain the key concepts as well!
Master the Basics of Creating a Beautiful Garden -
The Beginner’s Successful Garden Design Course for homeowners is an ideal course for anyone that wants to know the basics of garden design. If you just want to know how to create a nice garden and learn how to do a simple garden design or a garden makeover, the beginner’s course is ideal for you.
It doesn’t matter if you are an experienced gardener or not. Gardening is a totally different skill to garden design. Knowing how to shape your garden and what plants to put in is a very different art to actual gardening (knowing how and when to prune plants for example). Without a good foundation knowledge of garden design, all the gardening skills in the world won’t guarantee you get good results – an attractive garden.
The course is written in plain English, not confusing academic terminology. You’ll learn to:
It's easier than you think to design a beautiful garden
- Decide what to put in your garden and where
- Measure your garden in order to design successfully
- Know what to keep and what not
- Incorporate existing garden features into your new design
- See how different materials affect the finished look of your garden
- Use nifty tricks the professionals know for creating great gardens
There are video tutorials as well as audio to accompany the written modules. You can do the course in your own time at a pace that suits you. Each week you download a new module to get you the expertise you will need (over a 5-6 week period).

When you know how, you can create your dream garden
But what if you are not a creative person? We all are to a greater or lesser degree but that aside, garden design is as much practical as it is artistic. I will show you different methods of designing to suit your creative levels, as well as showing you how to become more creative.
What happens if you still can’t do it? If you find yourself getting stuck, then the section on design tips and tricks will help. I’ve been stuck on designs and over the years I’ve come up with some cunning solutions, that are guaranteed to get you where you need to be.
Can’t visualize things well? Again, this isn’t a problem. Visualization isn’t as necessary as you may think. I will show you ways to get around that and even turn it to your advantage.
If you just want a nice garden but not something ‘too designery’ don’t worry, I’ll teach you how to do it to a level that suits your needs. Worried that you’ll have to re-do your entire garden? No, that won’t be necessary. If you just want to learn how to do a makeover on your existing garden, without ripping everything up and starting again – that’s covered in the course.
Learn how to create a style of garden that suits you
One of the nice things about an online course is you can listen, watch and read the lesson content as often as you want. It’s not like being in a classroom which goes at a pace the tutor sets. You set your own pace.
And as an added bonus you will also get the guide on how to do the perfect planting plan, for FREE. The guide will eventually be sold as a stand alone product retailing for around £75.
If you think about how much it costs to get a professional designer involved and also factor in if you move house 3 or 4 times and have a designer every time – that could easily be £2000 in design fees. If you know how to do your own garden, every time you move, you’ll save money! That’s a pretty good investment, not to mention the pleasure and satisfaction, doing the garden yourself brings. So snap up this bargain now!
After 1st Jan 2010 the price WILL go up.
