You have made this correspondence course worthwhile and a pleasure. I shall miss not being able to sit down and completely get involved with doing the course work. I certainly would recommend this course to others. -Bernard Ostrowski, New Jersey, USA Having now completed what I found to be a most enjoyable course, I felt that I must express my thanks to you as my tutor, for the most helpful and constructive comments at all stages of the course. - Chris Bates, Leicester, UK I thought I would drop you a line to express my sincere thanks for your helping me through the Diploma course. I have received by Diploma and am very proud of it... I think I have got a design job coming up in the next few weeks. A colleague and her husband have just moved house and inherited a 280ft, narrow garden, half of which is wild! - Martin Strutt, Chelmsford, UK It has been hard work at times, but I have thoroughly enjoyed it. The knowledge I have gained from you, together with the re-discovery of things that I had forgotten I already knew have given me the confidence I was seeking. I have now put this to good use in what I hope will be a successful landscape design business. - Judy Charter, Baldock, Herts, UK You will be pleased to know that I've got my first commission (My, was I ever nervous!). Sharon Marshall, Nottingham, UK. Here is this month's assignment. I'm really enjoying the course and I have found that completing the lists really makes you think about what the client wants, and not only what you think they should have. I found them very useful because I am sure I would not have thought of asking about all the points you listed. They will certainly be well used in the future. Denise Reader, Coventry, UK. ...I was frantic with working with XXXXXX on the Chelsea garden, which no doubt you saw got best garden at Chelsea and a Gold Medal. I have also set up my own business. I have already had a few design projects and am now going about setting up maintenance contracts. Georgina Newall, London, UK I think the course will take me longer than anticipated. But I will continue to enjoy it, and progress by designing my own garden; and many friends are willing to let me 'practice' on their bare and neglected gardens! Becky Keast, Redhill, UK I feel I must write to say thank you for the practical and structured advice given me by my tutor.... I had a great opportunity (thanks to my local gardening club) to design a courtyard garden for the Chelsea Garden Show. I themed the garden on a local besom broom craft and based the whole on a broom maker's cottage garden of the 1930s.... We were more than delighted to be awarded a Silver Medal. ...I have completed my first real commission with for a lovely couple and am now in the process of contacting another. Most importantly, I am looking forward to receiving my Diploma that will take pride of place. I hope all students enjoy the course as much as I have. Carole Nottage, Tadley, Hampshire UK |
