The course covers the garden design process, graphics and scale drawing, planning garden design projects, plant knowledge, plant selection and care, and plant and soil science. This is a portfolio-based course, where you'll gather evidence of your learning through practical assignments and projects.

By the end of the course, you'll have the skills to start a career in horticulture and garden design or take your passion for gardening to the next level.
