My design fees start at over $10,000 for a suburban garden and over $20,000 for a large rural property. Design Your Dream Garden teaches you my same process for a fraction of that.

A plan is the cheapest part of building a garden. Without one, you have little control over what you spend. I'm confident what I teach will save you money and more than cover the cost.

And the skills are yours for life. Many of us move house and create more than one garden.

Course fees may be tax deductible for rental property owners. Check with your tax accountant.

No. I keep it simple with one payment. If you'd like to spread the cost, you can use PayPal's Pay in 4 option at checkout through your own PayPal account, where it's available.

The programme takes about 20 to 30 hours in total. That's around 2 to 3 hours a week for an average garden of about 1 acre. A smaller suburban block takes less time, and a large rural property takes more.

It's self-paced, so you can work through it around your own schedule. If you join the VIP Design Studio, you'll also have a structured 8-week period of live support and feedback.

You don't need any previous design experience or drawing skills. I'll guide you through the process step by step.

The programme shows you how to read your site and work with what's there, including slopes and levels. You'll make layout and material choices that suit your block, not fight it.

Don't wait. Join now, even if you're still in the design or early build stage. Many decisions you make now will shape your future garden. Start with DIY, then upgrade to the VIP Design Studio when you're ready for my feedback.

I've designed the programme to require very little technology. Where technology is needed, I've included step-by-step videos to guide you. However, a basic understanding of computers is required.

Yes. In the course I teach my unique plant selection method that works anywhere, then I guide you on choosing feature trees and shrubs suited to your site.

You’ll get access to my International Plant Library and Planting Cheat Sheets for a strong foundation.

You’ll still need to check what thrives locally, but without the right garden layout, even the best plants won’t deliver the look and feel you’re after.

Layout first, plants second. That’s how you create a garden that works.

The DIY programme is designed for independent learning, with step-by-step guidance, practical examples and helpful resources throughout. You'll also have lifetime access to an extensive resource library, including sample garden plans and construction drawings for each step in the design process.

If you'd like personalised guidance, the VIP Design Studio includes live Zoom Q&A sessions with hot seats, a 8-week community and personalised Loom video feedback on your garden plan.

All live Zoom Q&A sessions are recorded, and you can submit your questions beforehand. Your questions will still be answered during the session, even if you're unable to attend live. You can then watch the recordings at a time that suits you.

As places in the VIP Design Studio are limited, I'm unable to transfer students into future cohorts.

Yes. Upgrade any time VIP seats are available, and simply pay the difference between what you paid for DIY and the current VIP price. You'll receive your upgrade code by email when you join DIY.

No. Seats are limited, so the VIP Design Studio is never discounted.

Yes. This is an international course with students from all around the world.

Everything I teach is applicable no matter where you are in the world.

You can select your local currency at the checkout when purchasing.

You'll get access as soon as you purchase, whichever programme you buy. The VIP Design Studio live component will start on the date advertised. You are encouraged to start the modules straight away, so you're ready to make the most of my feedback inside the VIP Design Studio.

You'll have lifetime access to the Design Your Dream Garden programme, including all 10 modules, lessons, resources and construction drawings.

If you've purchased or upgraded to the VIP Design Studio, you'll also receive:

• 12 months’ access to recordings of the live Zoom Q&A sessions and hot seats.
• 8 weeks’ access to the VIP community, for the duration of the live component of the programme.

Your lifetime access to the core programme continues after the VIP component finishes.

I don't offer a money-back guarantee or refunds for change of mind, because you receive immediate access to the programme and all digital resources.

Please take the time to review the programme details and choose the option that's right for you before purchasing.
