Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Set Up Your Own Design Business

Two full business courses come with the bundle: How to Write a Business Plan and How to Start a Business. You learn the design work, then how to build a business around it.

Learn Design From Scratch

No experience needed. You start with what makes a garden work and build up to site analysis, planting plans, turf and hardscaping, guided by working landscape designers.

Study Around Your Life

Video lessons on demand, your own pace, no classroom. Retake assessments as many times as you need, and marking comes back within one business day. Access is lifetime, so there is no deadline.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Gardens are being designed everywhere: family backyards, new builds, community spaces and street plantings. The work is easy to picture: walking a site, sketching a plan, choosing plants and turf that will thrive there, and setting out paths and paving.

Landscape Designer

Reading a site, working out what it needs, and drawing the plan. Site analysis, plant choice and hardscaping run through the whole job.

Garden Designer

Smaller spaces, closer to home. Design briefs, styles and planting plans are all covered here.

Horticulture Assistant

Hands-on garden work, where plant and turf knowledge gets used every day.

Landscape Construction Assistant

On-site work building paths, paving and walls. That is what the hardscaping topic is about.

Freelance Garden Consultant

Talking with owners about what will work in their space. The design brief skills carry that whole conversation.

Garden Maintenance Business Owner

A small business you can build with the skills here, with the business plan course behind you.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience.

Why This One

What Makes It Different

Here is what stands out in this bundle.

02
Design And Business Together

Landscape & Garden Design Business Bundle, How to Write a Business Plan, and How to Start a Business. Three credentials, one enrolment.

03
The Whole Garden, Not Just The Plants

Plant and turf selection sit next to hardscaping materials and construction, design tools and drawing, and reading a site before you plan it.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need any experience?

None needed. The bundle starts with what makes a garden work and builds from there, so a first-timer can follow it.

How long does the course take?

Around 40 study hours, at your own pace. Access is lifetime, so there is no deadline. You can come back to the material after you finish.

What does it cost each week?

The weekly plan is $15 a week, interest-free with no credit check. Enquire for the full payment options, including pay-in-four and upfront.

Does it cover the business side?

Yes. Two full courses come with the bundle: How to Write a Business Plan and How to Start a Business.

How are assessments done?

Short-answer and multiple-choice, built to help you understand rather than test you against the clock. Retake them as many times as you need, and marking comes back within one business day.

Can I use this on my own garden?

Yes. You can apply what you learn to your own place, a friend's garden or a community project as you go.

Is this course accredited?

It is CPD endorsed, which is accreditation for professional development: you finish with CPD points employers recognise, plus a Credly digital badge. It is not a nationally recognised qualification. That is a different thing, and you do not need one to start designing gardens.

Can I get my money back if it is not for me?

Yes. There is a 7-day cooling-off period. You can switch to another course or get your money back.
