Trädgårdsdesign – lär dig skapa din drömträdgård, Kurs 22 mars

Come and learn from Herresta Lada's own, experienced Garden Designer!

Welcome to a 3-hour course for those who want to get inspiration, tips and advice on how to plan to develop your own dream garden based on your specific environments and conditions.

This afternoon's lecturer and course leader Gunilla Lundh is a garden designer with long experience of designing gardens where people thrive and feel good, including from the Ulriksdal Palace Garden. We at Herresta Lada have hired Gunilla for many years, so you can see with your own eyes what she has helped us create here, around the course yard. Read more about Gunilla below.

Prior to the course, you will have the opportunity to email in questions about your specific conditions in the garden regarding surface size, soils, water availability, wind and light conditions, etc. and your questions related to what you would like to achieve. During the afternoon, not everyone will have their own space, however, presentations and lectures will be prepared to capture as much as possible of the input and questions we receive from the participants. (Once you have confirmed your registration, you will receive an email with concrete questions).

The course is primarily aimed at those with their own plot in a villa, terraced house, or summer residence, allotment or with another garden area you want to develop.

Themes

During the afternoon, lecture sessions will be interspersed with Q&A sessions and short breaks.
The following themes will be addressed:

• Basic principles, opportunities and conditions - what affects
• Planning for sustainability and biodiversity
• Create comfortable spaces to be and socialize - create garden rooms
• Plant composition
  • The soil, the planting bed
  • Plan for a long season of colors and scents
  • What goes where based on growing zone and other growing conditions
  • Combinations
• How to make a simple drawing and plan yourself and complete with plant lists
• Tips for those who want to learn more about garden design and tips on good suppliers

The goal is that when you leave, you will feel inspired, more knowledgeable and ready to start planning your own home environment.
