A Beginner's Guide to Designing your own Garden

---

Tutors - Sheila Dearing (RHS Team) and Ian Smith (Bicton College) Do you have a new garden, or want to change your existing one but have no idea where to begin? This very practical 2-day workshop will include a walk to show you design ideas and planting combinations, seeing how they can be adapted to your own garden. You will spend time learning how to survey your garden area, measure small, marked out example gardens, and arrange a mixture of real potted plants, shrubs, trees and garden features in a variety of planting designs. Please bring a notepad, pen and camera if you wish and photographs of your own garden.
