Garden design

A person sketching a garden design.

Ready to revamp your garden beds but not sure where to start? Have you had trouble keeping plants alive?

This hands-on, three-hour workshop is designed to help you reimagine and plan your existing garden space with confidence. Often we impulsively buy a plant only to have it die. A thriving garden isn’t just about picking the prettiest flowers; it starts with understanding your soil, microclimate, and choosing the right plants for your unique conditions.

With expert guidance and practical tips, you'll gain the skills to choose plants that will look beautiful and flourish long-term.

The majority of the workshop will be spent actively creating a personalised planting list and sketching a planting plan tailored to your garden.

You'll walk away with:

  • a deeper understanding of your garden’s conditions — including soil health, weed management, sun exposure, wind, and rainfall patterns
  • a clear plan to prepare your soil for planting success
  • a curated list of plants that will thrive in your garden’s unique microclimate.

This course is open to people aged 18 years and over.
