    Hi

    Does anyone know of a good gardening or garden design course I can do at home? I don't live near a college to do an evening class and I'm working all day.

    Hi Andrea - have you checked out Cannington College in Bridgewater? I don't know if that's too far for an evening course, but they may have soem correspondence things as well - always worth a try [​IMG]

    Hi Andrea,
    I have made contact with HCC home study course and they were so helpfull to me, I requested some information on their courses and it arrived in the post the very next day with loads of info and some free seeds as a friendly bonus :D
    They have a good range of courses available and you can pay monthy if you cant afford a lump sum which is always handy.
    Try their web site
    www.hccollege.co.uk
    good luck, tell me what course you are going to do. ;)

    Hi Andrea

    Right on your doorstep in Somerset is the Institute of Garden Design. They offer distance learning course which you can study at home, so you don't need to give up the day job!

    Have a look at what they have to offer and let me know what you think. Good luck with finding the right course for you.
