Design courses

The Design Courses are offered to those who have not followed specific garden design courses but who would like to design and execute a terrace or a garden on their own.

		Besides a basis of introductory theoretic lessons and design exercises, there are also visits to nurseries, gardens and other sites. Each course lasts 2 weeks, with lessons of 2 hours each, in the mornings, three times a week, for a total of 12 hours. Though classes are held mainly in Italian, on request, we can organise lessons in English. To ensure a good teaching level and personal attention the maximum number of participants is limited to 15.
