Overview

This course introduces the knowledge and principles behind effective Gardening and Landscape design for functional and visually balanced outdoor spaces. Learners explore how Gardening decisions influence the wider Landscape, from plant selection to structural features. The course explains how professional designers evaluate space, understand user needs, and translate ideas into a coherent Landscape concept. Key foundations of Gardening are examined, including soil awareness, plant suitability, seasonal change, and ongoing care. Alongside these topics, the relationship between planting, pathways, walls, and water elements within a Landscape setting is analysed. The learning material also outlines how Gardening choices support environmental balance and sustainable outdoor planning. Step-by-step guidance introduces the structured process used when planning a Landscape layout, from analysing existing conditions to estimating costs. Attention is given to tools, plant criteria, rain gardens, and ecological approaches that strengthen long-term Gardening results. Historical context and modern Landscape architecture perspectives help learners understand how design ideas have evolved. By combining design theory with plant knowledge, the course develops a clear understanding of Gardening decisions that shape outdoor environments.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
