Learn to be a more confident and happier gardener
As well as learning through a one-to-one consultation, or attending a talk or class, you can take your time, suit your own schedule and deepen your understanding of gardening with tutorials and tips on my YouTube channel GardeningbyDesignUK
My most popular talks and teaching topics are available as video tutorials containing practical, implementable advice, with photographs, diagrams, examples and summaries to help you get to grips with the topic and giving you the confidence to plan, plant and look after your plot.
“No celebrity, no TV crew, just the explanations and examples you need put together by a professional gardening tutor.”
Each topic contains approximately an hour of material, split across three videos so that you can watch in easy to manage sections and get out into the garden in between to make the most of the information. There are photographs, diagrams, examples and summaries to help you get to grips with the topic and even a few questions for you to answer. Tea breaks included!
