    • Definitely a great motivational day, I feel so much more confident now.

      Kick-start your Garden Design Studies
    • This was my first short course at KLC, so I didn't quite know what to expect. During that week I learnt a lot and all of those small things that I had been struggling with became very clear. The course was well organised, the 3 teachers we had were all great, patient and helpful and the size of the group was ideal.

      Technical Drawing
    • I am enjoying the Designing with Plants course. It is just packed with everything I wanted to know and the excercises are really useful. It is more than I expected from the correspondence course. I thought I had been spoiled by Open University materials but your course is really well presented.
      Sandra Rumble
      Designing with Plants
    • The teachers at this school teach from the heart not the book, but the teaching is factual, practical and appropriate and built on years of experience. Gardens are too precious to be left to chance and the KLC garden course guides students to find their own individual approach to a new career.
      Anthony Paul
      Diploma Garden Design
    • Studying Garden Design at KLC has been the best decision ever. The school provided me with an in-depth knowledge of design along with the confidence that allowed me to start my own company upon graduating. The setting of the studios within Hampton Court Palace is unmatched and provided so much inspiration along with all the amazing and knowledgeable tutors.

    • A very well thought out course, at the end of the week you really feel as though you have achieved something
      Lanassir Lawes
      Technical Drawing
    • As you find yourself driving to site, either to see a new garden or to re-visit an old one; whether eighty degrees and sunny or minus five and freezing cold there is always an accompanying sense of anticipation, freedom and excitement – words that certainly can't be used to describe too many careers.
      Marie-Louise Agius
      Diploma Garden Design
    • I found the revision day very useful, the tutor was especially helpful and really well informed about the exams. The tutor also really helped me to understand what to expect and her advice helped me to focus my revision on my weakest areas.
