Diploma in
Landscape Design


 

Our landscape design course makes it easy for you to become a qualified garden or landscape designer.

And because our courses are home-study, you can learn at your own pace.

The landscape design course shows you how to design a landscape around your own ideas. Watch your flower garden take shape right before your eyes. No more planting and replanting until you think you've got it right. You'll be able to make the right choice the first time! Think of all the time and energy you'll save!

With our home-study course in landscape design, you'll become your very own landscape designer, as well as gaining a qualification in the process.

You'll find yourself designing your friends' and neighbors' gardens. Then you'll get commissions through word of mouth. Before you know it, you'll be a professional designer.

Who knows, you might end up designing gardens for international shows or celebrities. The possibilities are endless.

Add a water feature to your gardenSome people love their garden; and they'll make the most of it by adding a water feature, for example (right).

For others, the garden is a place to use; somewhere to get outside and enjoy life.

And even if you're too busy to spend much time in the garden, you still need to keep it attractive and presentable.

But whatever your needs, our landscape design course will give you a Diploma in Landscape Design, and put you on the first step to a career as a landscape designer.


How big is your garden?

Landscape Landscape Design on a grand scaleGardens come in all shapes, sizes and types. Though few are as big as a palace, left.

But the look of any garden is determined by what you or your client wants, the area you're working with (its natural features) and how you plan to use the garden.

Sadly, most people don't really plan their garden. So they end up admiring other people's landscape designs, and never being quite satisfied with their own property.

There are exceptions of course. But more people would have a garden that really suits them if they took the time to do a little planning.

Your new skills will help your clients achieve the garden of their dreams.

Landscape design

Landscape design, as it's more commonly known in the US, helps you improve your garden or yard. It's a place where you can entertain guests, or just enjoy the open air.

Our courses now come with a free video that gives you a clear and simple explanation of the principles of landscape design.

The video is packed with examples of good and bad design. Once you know what to look for, it all becomes clear. When you know what gives a garden that designer look, you'll be able to design gardens for other people with flair and style.


A universal course

You can choose from two different versions of the course. One is written in US English (and has topics that meet the needs of people in North America and related countries). The other is a UK and Europe edition. That way, you get the course that's right for you.
