Do you have a new garden or want to change your existing one? Have you been inspired by the gardens at RHS Rosemoor or an RHS Show? This workshop will guide you through the essential elements of garden design, discussing how you can use colour, light and shade, line and form, unity, balance and contrast to enhance your own garden.
Ian Smith, RHS Advisor, will show you at first-hand how design ideas and planting combinations have been used at Rosemoor, and you will have the opportunity to think and discuss how they could be adapted within your own garden. After Day 1, hopefully you will begin to form your own garden design ideas and bring these along to Day 2.
The second workshop further builds your knowledge of design concepts and the garden design process. There will be time to discuss and review your designs, referring back to the essential elements of garden design and discussing how you can use colour, light and shade, line and form, unity, balance and contrast to enhance your garden. We will revisit garden design concepts and planting combinations, looking at examples used at RHS Rosemoor, and considering how they could be adapted within your garden.
When you book this workshop, you will be invited to select which Day 2 session you would like to attend: Sunday 26 April or Saturday 16 May 2026.
