Garden Design Workshops:

To help people understand their gardens and to give them the skills needed to make bold design changes, Judy runs a 4 week workshop providing a fascinating insight into the 'Principles of Garden Design'.

The course is run in February of each year at Arley Arboretum - to kick start the gardening year - and Judy is happy to run it for private bookings, at a time to suit.
