Changing career and choosing the right garden design course can be daunting experiences. To help give you confidence to make the step forward, or just to find out more about and get a feel for working in the thriving and profitable garden design industry, you could consider attending one of Garden Design School’s Diploma taster days:

meet Garden Design School’s founders, tutors and exceptional garden designers, Robin Templar Williams and Moira Farnham
visit and experience the superb training venues
understand the course content and how we compare to other garden design courses on offer
see example materials
talk to Garden Design School graduates - people who have successfully completed the Garden Design School Diploma and are now working as successful and confident professional garden designers
ask questions in an informal and supportive atmosphere
be inspired by a mini lecture on garden design principles by Robin Templar Williams

We look forward to meeting you and opening the door to a rewarding new career in garden design.

Taster Sessions

Unable to attend a Taster Days and/or wish to visit Garden Design School at some other time?

Why not attend a ‘Taster Session’ instead? These sessions take place on Tuesdays at Painshill Park (Surrey) and on Thursdays at Bristol Botanic Garden (during term time only)

sit in on a typical garden design course lecture
discuss the Diploma course with one of our course tutors
meet current Garden Design School students

Taster Sessions last approximately two hours and we ask you please to pre-book your place, ideally at least two weeks in advance. Please contact Justine Davis on 01380 728788.

Taster Day Testimonials

“The Taster Day was extremely useful in helping me assess the merits of this garden design course over other similar ones. Also, I found it very helpful to see examples of previous students’ work and speak to someone who had already completed the course.” Elaine Bailey

“Moira and Robin both made me feel very comfortable. They have a very down to earth approach and gave a well presented overview of garden design. I knew instantly from just meeting them that they were good teachers who are passionate about garden design” Sarah Coker-Davies
