Landscape design is an art, a craft and a science. A true landscape designer should be proficient in all three aspects. This landscape design course is a foray into the fascinating world of gardens, from plant science to the art of creating a green oasis. The course is addressed to those who are passionate about botany and horticulture, as well as to those who want to pursue a business idea or a career in the field.
Diana Codrean, the tutor of the Landscape Design Course, also held a summer school program at Cembra this year, on garden design. You can find more details about it here.
