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 Online Garden Design Atelier 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.
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.

This is what customers say...
Daisy:
“Choosing online Atelier Garden Design gives me the opportunity to design my garden at my own pace. With the necessary feedback and tips from Sofie, I can create my own ideas to arrive at a design in which I feel connected to what I need in my garden. It is creating something step by step, in order to grow something that is feasible in a natural process and thus get everything out of it that I want. It is creating a garden that I can fully enjoy. It is creating something that offers something fun and beautiful for every season and where I can completely relax. The online Atelier garden design also works on the rhythm of the moon, which I also think is a very nice feature.
I have not yet fully completed the modules, but I can say that it is a very fun process to do it and I am looking at it and I am curious about my final design.”
Dear:
“We had been looking for someone who could help us with a garden plan for some time.
But which landscape architect had the right style, what would it cost and, above all, would he or she listen to our needs?
Then I saw Sofie's Online Atelier...the ideal formula for us: we can work out our plans together as a couple and choose the moment ourselves. You will be provided with a lot of knowledge, but in manageable chunks. The variety between videos and exercises makes it interesting and if you have any questions, Sofie is willing to provide extra help. She teaches in a calm manner and gives you the confidence to continue.
We are only halfway through the course, but we already have the feeling that it will be a garden that we will feel good in, with a natural character and many cozy places. “
H. Camps:
"The step-by-step plan with which you go through the entire course feels very safe and 'hopeful'. We have the feeling that we will be able to do it ;-) My husband and I really enjoy thinking together about the garden that we would like to one day would like ;-) Because of your clear and comprehensive answer to our specific questions, and also because of the online meetings, we are inspired every time to think further and develop our plan. We were a bit quiet for a while because of the new school year and everything which is starting up again these days (children's hobbies...) but we are still looking forward to it! It feels nice that you keep emphasizing that we can do it at our own pace! Because with three young children, this challenge remains a challenge. to lie down for a while now and then and then find enough energy in the evening to continue working hard on it..."
"I am very satisfied with the garden plan that we drew and cut and pasted. I really enjoy doing that, so a nice suggestion from you to provide 'things' that you can cut out yourself! We think that is a really big step. I think I didn't think we would get to that point ourselves. I do have the idea that sometimes you really have to let some steps rest for a while. Then I look around for a long time when we go cycling or walking, looking up all sorts of things via Pinterest. .. and then we record it again after a while and then I feel that new ideas are coming or that the picture is gradually becoming even more correct."
"There is so much to say about all kinds of things related to creating a garden. At every step we still have some questions. It is nice that you provide an answer at that moment, or that you can refer us to something you have already worked on."
"I can definitely recommend this course. I find the step-by-step structure very nice and also relaxing. A big job (designing and making a garden plan yourself) suddenly turns out to be a feasible option for people with little knowledge about designing a garden , but with a little bit of green fingers. We also really like how you provide input in different ways: concise information at the beginning of each module, but via different channels (learning network with many different fascinating themes, zoom meeting , separate video for answering an extra question...) you will receive a lot of extra information that will take you to the next module with a 'feeling of peace'."
Kristine:
“The Online Atelier Garden Design is a lot for the price of one. It is of course a course, so I learned a lot about gardens, space, plans and plants. But the real added value lay in the 'side effects'. Gradually discovering and defining what we actually wanted, at our own pace and with good guidance. 'We', because it was wonderful to involve the whole family in the exercise and to be able to include everyone's dreams. My own creative side was also brought out again (from my childhood, that satisfaction of a colored pencil on paper!).
For those who want to 'do something with the garden' themselves, but do not yet know what, when, and whether or not you need a landscape architect, the Atelier is the ideal and accessible way to no longer do it (because that may lead to forever). Even if it turns out that your project exceeds your own capabilities, it is not a waste of effort. It then becomes valuable input for Sofie to continue working on her professional design, and that makes the dialogue with her much smoother. It's also a lot more exciting to educate your internal designer and bring them to the (drawing) table than to tell someone: 'This is the terrain. Make something beautiful out of it!' This Atelier is extremely highly recommended!”
Carla van Veen – Blijleve
“I would have preferred to have Sofie design my garden, but because of the distance we did not organize it that way.
Instead, Sofie recommended her Online Atelier to me, and as I went through it I became more and more enthusiastic.
It is very nice to be able to design your own dream garden.
Clear and structured, but not forceful, Sofie takes you through the process of arriving at a great plan. You will have a lot of fun and you may even discover more about yourself in addition to your preferences that lead to your personal garden plan.
And so I noticed that in this way my garden becomes a reflection of me and my desires, a garden that personally makes me very happy.
I also received many tips about maintenance and which plant species to choose. You can always ask questions and receive detailed answers.
I am very happy that things turned out this way and that I started this adventure, it gives me a lot of satisfaction and I proudly receive the compliments about my garden. A garden that is still growing and where there is still plenty to grow. My garden is quite large.”
Ingrid from Leuven:
“In Sofie's online garden studio you are taken step by step through a process, with a pleasant mix of very practical, concrete assignments and dreams. She ensures that you become aware of what can make your garden a dream garden and what is important to you. You will be helped to arrive at your own style and to consider things that you would not think of yourself. What I personally like very much is that Sofie relates the entire process to the bigger picture in which we live: the elements earth, water, fire and air, the moon cycle, the senses, the seasons and the need to seek sustainable solutions. This means that the entire process goes deeper and extends beyond the final result.”
What if your garden becomes your sacred space?
