You don't do it alone!
The eight modules are the basis of this online course, but the greatest value lies in the fact that we will each design and shape our own garden TOGETHER. We meet (approximately) weekly in the Online Atelier Café (in zoom) to discuss your garden and resolve questions. We will visit gardens and nurseries together . You can join a 'live' workshop or co-creation morning around the real table. You help form the cozy garden family that we create around the garden design course. All ideas and suggestions are always very welcome!
Approach
The online course consists of 8 modules , each consisting of a video, text, photos and examples, useful tips. This allows you to work on your garden at your own pace. You will immediately have access to all information for 12 months (or longer if you wish).
In this course the focus is on creating an ecological dream spot in your garden where nature (and you too!) comes completely to life.
We build it up step by step. It is accessible and feasible for everyone to draw your own garden plan. The first four modules focus on searching and finding the right shapes and lines. During the next four modules we fill in the garden plan with plants and sustainable materials. Design your own garden and you will have a clear garden plan with a complete plant plan in 2 months.
Library with ecological information
The garden design course is also packed with extra information about ecological gardens : interesting plant lists, easy plant combinations that you can immediately copy in your own garden, information about materials and how you can, for example, build a pond yourself.
Online Atelier Cafés
We meet almost weekly - online in Zoom - to discuss a specific module, a specific garden theme or your garden. The recordings are also available afterwards if you cannot attend live.
Accompaniment
My name is Sofie, founder of Tuinen in Beweging and I supervise this course. With my master's degree in bioscience engineering, I have a heart for all living things and with my year of training as a garden and landscape architect, I (re)discovered the artist within myself to create beautiful shapes and lines with plants. I have been designing my clients' gardens with heart and soul since 2007.
The satisfaction I get from designing a garden is great and I would like to pass on that feeling. If you would like to design your own garden, but you don't know how to get started, then this course is perfect for you! I give you tools to do this in an easy and pleasant way.
So you don't do it alone. I will be traveling with you and your garden for 12 months. You can forward your garden questions and I will be happy to answer them via additional videos, with text and explanations and in the online meetings.
