Description

Do you look at your garden and think, that's kind of boring!

Do you want to create a better looking garden but don't know how to start the process?

Do you ask yourself why some gardens seem so special?

If you answered yes to these questions then this course is for you.

This course will show you tricks that professional landscape designers use to create better spaces. It will show you lots of examples both from my garden and others so that you can really understand the design principals.

I am a big believer in learning the "WHY" and not just the "HOW". Once you understand the why, the how becomes so much easier to learn and understand. In this course I will explain design principals and then show you why they work so you know when and when not to use them.

THIS COURSE WILL COVER THE FOLLOWING:

  • Design principals such as focal points, elevation, hidden destinations

  • I'll show you ways to make a plain pathway into something really special

  • Tricks to make a small space look bigger

  • How to select and place art to best effect

  • I'll explain some of the though processes I use to design my 6 acre botanical garden

BONUS:

Free ebook called 24 1/2 Garden Design Ideas, where I show you how to use the neighborhood to get great design ideas.

I SHARE A LIFE TIME OF EXPERIENCE

The information in this course is an accumulation of professional training and over 40 years of practical experience. I'll not only give you the technical information, but I will also provide you with my personal insights. You will learn things that took me a lifetime to learn by trial and error.

WHY YOU SHOULD ENROLL TODAY

If you are still reading this page, you have a desire to improve the design of your garden. The only thing holding you back is a lack of knowledge and perhaps a bit of fear of the unknown. It is time to take the plunge and enter a new chapter in your garden travels.

I guarantee that I will simplify the whole design process into manageable steps that you can easily learn.

But this will only happen if you take the first step - Start the course today. Your plants will love you for it!

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR SUCCESS

See you inside!
