It was a bit of a shock to walk into class and find a lady sitting in Richard's place yesterday morning. Her name was Jo and she had come to the rescue because Richard had a cold and lost his voice, despite being retired and having just moved into her new home which is mid renovation, she had stepped in for us so we didn't have to miss a lesson-very nice of her. She carried on with the garden design theme covering site analysis and design considerations, showing us the symbols to use when we make plans of our own. She also gave us a little shopping list (it's amazing how many things I've found I just can't live without since staring this course!), circle template, flexi ruler, coloured pencils. geometry set and pigment liners, apparently this is all we need to to become garden designers, although I have a feeling that there is a lot more to it than that!
Pics-Just a couple of beautiful autumn coloured plants from Harlow Carr.
"In garden arrangement as in all other kinds of decorative work, one has not only to acquire the knowledge of what to do, but also to gain some wisdom in perceiving what is well to let alone"
