How To Design A Garden – Online Garden Design Course for Beginners (It’s Easier Than You Think)

“Learn the 7 step formula I use to create stunning gardens – without needing to be able to visualise or be a great artist.” Rachel Mathews Successful Garden Design.

Most people make the mistake of focusing on plants and not enough on design – creating a great garden is all about shape and how different elements work together.

The Great Garden Formula is an online garden design course. It enables those of us that aren’t naturally gifted artists or good at visualising to be able to design easily.

The course is totally online so you don’t even need to leave your house to do it. It’s a mix of written materials in downloadable PDFs and video tutorials to guide you through everything you need to know in order to create a beautifully designed garden.

Learn an Easy Method You Can Use to Create a Great Looking Garden

I’m Rachel Mathews from the international ORIGIN garden design and construction company. I’ve been designing gardens for nearly 20 years. In that time, I’ve transformed every conceivable shape, style and size of garden from rolling acres to the tiniest of courtyards.

I’ve reached a point in my career where I want to do more than just design. I want to teach people how to design their own gardens. I’ve put everything I’ve learned over the last 19 years as a professional garden designer into the Great Garden Formula design course. I want to share all the really important practical tips the garden design books leave out.

Based on my own learning and struggles I’ve developed this course to enable even a complete beginner to design their garden successfully. So, if you’re looking to transform your garden, the Great Garden Formula will guide you through the process step-by-step. You’ll be able to…

Transform your existing garden quickly and inexpensively using one simple method
Create a garden that suits your individual tastes and looks good with your house
Create a garden you can be really proud of
Create a place you can relax and enjoy with family and friends
Confidently know your ideas will work before the garden is built

Spending More Money on ‘Stuff’ for Your Garden WON’T Get The Results You Want

If you think about how much you and people you know have spent buying plants, paving and other garden stuff over the years, how many have wonderful gardens? Creating a great garden isn’t achieved by throwing money at it and hoping. If it was, everyone’s garden would be great. Plants alone won’t do it, no matter how pretty they are. See the example below:

Just Plants - Garden Before

Garden - After Design

The shape and way the materials work with one another is what has really made the big difference to the garden in the second picture; the plants are only the icing on the cake. If we’d just changed the plants and not adjusted the shape of the lawn and patio, the garden wouldn’t look much better than in the first picture.

…

..

Have you experienced any of these?

Purchased lots of plants and features and your garden still doesn’t look the way you want?
Read garden books and magazines and still don’t really know what to do with your garden?
Tried re-shaping the borders and your garden still doesn’t look right?

It’s OK. It’s Not Your Fault!

If you have experienced any of the above, it’s really not your fault. A lot of books and magazines are designed to sell copies to look good on coffee tables. Some books are better than others at telling you what to do, but nearly all of them fail to tell you precisely ‘how’ to create a great garden.

The process involved is as important as the design principles. I designed my first garden (for my brave parents) before I went to design college, so I know just how frustrating it is trying to learn how to design from books.

But even college courses don’t really teach you everything you need to know to design in the real world. Perhaps they do if you are a naturally gifted designer, but I found it tough after I first qualified. Gardens come in all shapes and sizes and it took me a lot of figuring out until I found the best way to design them.

How To Overcome The Difficulties You Face With Your Garden

After years of struggling with designing gardens, I analyzed what I was doing when designs came together quickly and easily, and I found that there was a process to creating great designs easily. When I applied this process, I found I could quickly and easily design any shape, size and type of garden. I will share this process with you in the Great Garden Formula course.

Over the years I’ve refined and condensed the design process into The Great Garden Formula. The formula can be learned and applied over a couple of weekends to transform any garden, regardless of its shape, size or what is already there. I’ve done all the hard work of figuring the process out so you don’t have to.

How Easy Is It To Transform Your Garden Using The Formula?

If you can draw simple shapes, like circles and squares, you can do this course. It doesn’t matter if you aren’t someone that can visualise – I’ve only been able to do that in the last few years. I will show you all the tricks I use to get over not being able to visualise, some of which are very simple but amazingly effective.

How Does The Great Garden Formula Work?

To design a great garden you need to know the principles of design and how to put them together effectively. You also need to know how to use these principles with different sizes and shapes of garden. And you need to work with your existing garden whether you have a lot of existing plants and features or a blank canvas garden.

The Great Garden Formula is the system for bringing all of the design principles together in the right way.

FAQs

How long does the course take? That’s really up to you, it’s instant access to all the course material so you can do it at a pace that suits you. If you want to do it quickly, the course could be done over a couple of weekends but I would suggest spreading it out over 3-4 weekends or longer.
How much money will I have to spend on my garden after the course to get it looking good? Well again, this is entirely up to you and will depend a lot on what you have there now. A big part of improving your garden is down to something that isn’t expensive (we cover what this is in the course), so no problem if you are working with a budget.
Do I need garden design software? No. You don’t need to learn any technically challenging software to be able to do this course. You can of course use software if you prefer to draw with it. Pencil, paper and an eraser are all you need.

Course Feedback So Far…

Charlotte Hinks - UK “I thought the course was fantastic. It did what every book I’ve ever bought didn’t, it covered the basics of garden design in simple, straightforward format that was easy to follow. The principals covered in the course were really easy to apply and I’ve already redesigned my patio and garden, which are both quite awkward shapes.

I would recommend this course to anyone who looks at their garden and knows that its not quite reaching its potential, but doesn’t know why.”

Eileen Sporule- USA “I bought this course and worked through the easy to understand principals and after minimal effort I new EXACTLY why my garden never felt right!

I highly recommend this for anyone who is interested in designing and laying out their home garden…large or small…any taste….this will be a big asset in your quest for creating a spot of heaven in your corner of the world!”

Tammy Liu – Panama “As a complete beginner, I am very pleased that I have done the course. I have learnt much more from this course than I have from all the books I have on my bookshelf. My husband was also surprised to see a proper scaled design on paper instead of ” just ideas” .”

Stacey Cornelius – Canada “The best thing about the course is the video content. Watching a design take shape while Rachel explains the process made me realize it really isn’t horribly difficult to design a great garden. Attention, experimentation and the right teacher can get you there.”

Anna Hutchens – Australia “The course material was terrific – you simplified what I imagine are quite complex design principles and processes, and made the process of learning highly interactive. I loved this course from start to finish. With each module my eyes seemed to ‘open up’ to new ways of seeing things…”

Master the Basics of Creating a Beautiful Garden -

The Great Garden Formula Design Course is an ideal course for anyone that wants to know the essentials of garden design. If you just want to know how to create a beautiful garden and learn how to do an elegant garden design or a garden makeover, the Great Garden Formula course is ideal for you.

It doesn’t matter if you are an experienced gardener or not. Gardening is a totally different skill than 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.

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 and tastes.

Worried that you’ll have to re-do your entire garden?

No, that often isn’t necessary. There are usually ways to incorporate what’s in your garden now. So, 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.

One of the nice things about an online course is you can watch the tutorials 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.

If you think about how much it costs to get a professional designer involved and also factor in if you move house 2 or 3 times and have a designer every time – that could easily be over $3000 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.
