The London College of Garden Design one-year Garden Design Diploma classes take place in the Orangery conference facilities at Kew Gardens and are led by Andrew Wilson who has unrivalled experience in teaching Garden Design. From 2020 we have also offered an online option where students take part in exactly the same classes and studio sessions in real-time alongside classroom-based students. This can be particularly useful for students that are unable to travel into London on a regular basis as well as those students who are overseas and may not be eligible to study in the UK.
Andrew is supported by practising design, horticulture and technical professionals to ensure you get a wide experience of the industry and the most up to date knowledge. For more information about our tutors please visit the Teaching section of our website. We pride ourselves on making sure you get personal attention and all the support you need to successfully complete the course and it is our team of expert tutors and lecturers that make this happen.
I had a fantastic year with the college and learned so much – so thank you to you and everyone else who put so much effort into making the experience (although tough!) a very positive one.

Enrolment
The Garden Diploma Course starts in September of each academic year. Please contact us if you are interested in enrolling and if you’d like meet with Andrew Wilson for an informal chat about the course.
The course is very popular and students regularly enrol on the course up to a year before the course starts. It is therefore a good idea to contact us early if you are interested in studying on this course. We do run a wait list for places should someone drop out nearer to the start of the course and so it is sometimes possible that we will have places at shorter notice before the course commences.
We are currently taking enrolments to study in 2024-25 so if you are interested in studying with us please download a prospectus and get in touch so that all your questions can be answered.
