Garden Design Diploma
Collection of 12 courses
Piet Oudolf and Dr Noel Kingsbury take you on an exclusive tour of Piet's family gardens at Hummelo, so you can learn how to plant a garden the Piet Oudolf way and which plants to choose and combine.
Piet will introduce plants and plant combinations, and takes you into his studio to look at planting plans and how the garden design works throughout the year.
You'll learn how to create a Piet Oudolf perennial design for your garden, which plants to choose for form, structure and colour, and how to adapt the Piet Oudolf style for your region.
Choose the Expert option for feedback from Dr Noel Kingsbury on your assignments. Evaluation of assignments will be done by Noel, whose links with gardeners across the world give him a uniquely global perspective.
Every student is different but in general we think the whole course will take around 7 hours 30 minutes to complete including:
