This has been the best garden design course I have taken, and believe me I’ve sat through a number of either free or expensive ones during lockdown. All with no luck in helping me design my actual garden!
Lees weekend garden design course has literally opened my eyes to what I need to consider with my garden, how to plan it and lay it out properly. His video lessons are just like his YouTube videos, super easy to understand.
I love the fact I can study at my own pace and from anywhere, I;ve even been studying on the tube before work.
If you need to revamo your garden on a budget or want to learn the basics of garden design then you MUST sign up for this course! Thanks Garden ninja!!

We’ve been struggling to work out what to do with our first garden. All the neighbours just stick sheds at the bottom and we wanted something more. After watching Lee on Garden resuce we knew we needed his help. This online course to design your own garden felt like a good step.
The course really is a fast track to understanding where to start with a blank canvas garden. We now know what to start with and more importantly what to avoid. Great course and well worth the money to not make the same mistakes so many other gardeners do! Would highly recommend this course!
