Introduction to Garden Design

---

Chelsea gold medal winning garden designer Tracy Foster has been creating gardens since 2002.  Tracy also works as a botanical tour guide as well as writing articles, mentoring other garden designers, running garden design workshops and lecturing on board cruise ships.

This introduction to the wonderful world of garden design will give you a flavour of what can be achieved by using design techniques, illustrated with plenty of real life examples. Tracy will show you how to assess your plot and will explain the steps involved in finding inspiration and ideas, and turn those into a design drawing.
The day will also introduce planting design and will cover choosing plants that are suitable for your garden to provide a long season of interest, combining plants together and drawing a planting plan that is easy to follow.

The tutor advises that you bring a note pad, pen and pencil. An eraser and rule will also be useful if you have them.
