Course overview
Overview
If you're passionate about the design and creation of beautiful garden spaces, the Graduate Certificate in Garden Design can help you turn that passion into a career.
You'll learn about holistic design principles, how to choose and use the right plants for the right situations, and develop skills in drawing and graphic presentation.
Study while you work
Classes are generally in the evenings, so regardless of whether you're a seasoned industry professional or newly-inspired green thumb, you'll have time to participate.
Learn at a garden campus
You'll spend your time getting your hands dirty – literally – alongside horticulture experts at our beautiful Burnley campus and beyond.
Keep it real
We build on theory, but our teaching focuses on real-world examples and case studies, with plenty of practical activities and excursions, to make sure you leave the course with the practical knowledge you’ll need in the workplace.
