We’re delighted that 7 LCGD students have been shortlisted for the annual Society of Gardens Designers Awards out of a total of 10 nominations. Congratulations go to all the students shortlisted for their hard work and excellent design submissions.

As we start the new teaching year we’ve had a look back at some of the highlights of last year with students, now graduates and tutors. Take a look here.

Prolandscaper Magazine has published an extensive interview with our Director Nina Baxter. You can hear about her career and journey to her current role as Planting Design Diploma course leader as well as her own work in garden design. View the whole interview here.

The College is celebrated for 15 years of creating careers in garden design in the latest edition of the industry’s trade magazine Prolandscaper. As well as interviews with our three Directors there are also features with many industry leaders about what makes a great training in garden design and features with some of our graduates.

Our talented LCGD graduates stole the show at the recent Hampton Court Royal Garden Palace Festival with their stunning “All About Asteraceae” borders.

The London College of Garden Design has teamed up with the Royal Horticultural Society to create a new planting feature, “All About Asteraceae: the plant family with flower power” for this year’s RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival. Planted by recent graduates of the college, seven borders along Ditton Avenue will welcome visitors to the Festival and will showcase the wide variety and diversity of plants in the genus Asteraceae.

At LCGD we take the challenges we face to biodiversity and a changing climate seriously and ensure that the very wide subject of sustainable design is discussed on ALL our courses.
