1. Garden Design: Learn to design the gardens of your dreams
Learn the art of garden design in our comprehensive online garden design courses. You will learn the fundamental elements of style, basic techniques and professional tricks necessary to design the gardens of your dreams.
Professional garden design is something that is inspirational and is essentially solving the various logistical problems associated with what you have to work with, where to position such items as pathways, swimming pools, tennis courts, water features, flower beds and which plants would be most suited. Good garden design adds these ingredients to create a style in keeping with the site, the house and your client's requirements.
The whole process of design begins long before you put pen to paper. Your initial job is to find out just what you have and then what you want to achieve based on this initial fact finding.
2. Garden Maintenance: Study Lawn and Garden Maintenance Online Course and Learn How to Properly Care for your Lawn and Garden
Our Lawn and Garden Maintenance Online Course includes all the products and methods needed to run an effective lawn mowing service. Learn how to mulch, fertilize, restore, and revitalize your lawns, among other things, as well as how to properly mow them.
The lawn is an important part of home ground development as well as any other sort of garden, serving as a landscape's green carpet. A well-kept lawn contributes to a home's look, attractiveness, conveniences, and use, all of which increase to the property's value.
Grass is one of the toughest to maintain, and maintaining a lawn is simple as long as you are diligent. A well-maintained lawn accounts for most of a garden's aesthetic appeal. If a lawn isn't properly cared for, it will quickly become unusable.
These Lawn and Garden Maintenance Course are designed to provide you the knowledge and skills you need to keep your garden healthy and attractive. Lawn care management is a broad field of study that is commonly dismissed as the dreary side of horticulture when it is, in fact, highly technical and of vital importance.

Our Horticulture Online Course will discuss Horticulture, the technology and art of sustainable development, production of plants. We will discuss the role of horticulture and its contribution to the beauty, sustainability and relaxation of our environment and human existence.

The production and use of varieties of seeds and vegetables allow us to have a healthy and balanced diet in daily life. Flowers and ornamental flowers enrich our homes and groups and contribute to our well-being.

1. Garden Design: Learn to design the gardens of your dreams
Learn the art of garden design in our comprehensive online garden design courses. You will learn the fundamental elements of style, basic techniques and professional tricks necessary to design the gardens of your dreams.
Professional garden design is something that is inspirational and is essentially solving the various logistical problems associated with what you have to work with, where to position such items as pathways, swimming pools, tennis courts, water features, flower beds and which plants would be most suited. Good garden design adds these ingredients to create a style in keeping with the site, the house and your client's requirements.
The whole process of design begins long before you put pen to paper. Your initial job is to find out just what you have and then what you want to achieve based on this initial fact finding.
2. Garden Maintenance: Study Lawn and Garden Maintenance Online Course and Learn How to Properly Care for your Lawn and Garden
Our Lawn and Garden Maintenance Online Course includes all the products and methods needed to run an effective lawn mowing service. Learn how to mulch, fertilize, restore, and revitalize your lawns, among other things, as well as how to properly mow them.
The lawn is an important part of home ground development as well as any other sort of garden, serving as a landscape's green carpet. A well-kept lawn contributes to a home's look, attractiveness, conveniences, and use, all of which increase to the property's value.
Grass is one of the toughest to maintain, and maintaining a lawn is simple as long as you are diligent. A well-maintained lawn accounts for most of a garden's aesthetic appeal. If a lawn isn't properly cared for, it will quickly become unusable.
These Lawn and Garden Maintenance Course are designed to provide you the knowledge and skills you need to keep your garden healthy and attractive. Lawn care management is a broad field of study that is commonly dismissed as the dreary side of horticulture when it is, in fact, highly technical and of vital importance.

Our Horticulture Online Course will discuss Horticulture, the technology and art of sustainable development, production of plants. We will discuss the role of horticulture and its contribution to the beauty, sustainability and relaxation of our environment and human existence.

The production and use of varieties of seeds and vegetables allow us to have a healthy and balanced diet in daily life. Flowers and ornamental flowers enrich our homes and groups and contribute to our well-being.
