HNC Garden Design

About

Specially designed to give you the knowledge to enter the garden design profession, this course covers a wide range of skills, including learning to communicate with clients and other professionals, and how to organise, manage and design construction projects.

Employment opportunities with HNC Garden Design include working for landscape companies and horticultural enterprises, and often you'll get to provide design input into their projects.

Some students with previous relevant experience have gone straight into designing gardens and setting up their own business. Many have returned to take more advanced HND modules while working.

This course gives you hands-on horticultural knowledge as well as refined design skills.

Working in a studio setting, you'll learn about garden design through using real, guided projects with real clients and covering a range of garden styles.

Visits to plant nurseries, hard landscape suppliers and the Botanic Gardens (Glasgow or Edinburgh) will help you develop plant identification skills. You'll also be able to take part in practical horticulture tasks.
