We created Working with Trees as a focused, standalone course because we believe that trees are the ultimate tool for future-proofing your garden.
They are the anchors of a resilient landscape, capable of managing water, building biodiversity, and creating micro-climates that protect other plants and non human creatures that share our world.
What You Will Learn
This online course is designed to to make planting and managing trees simple and approachable. Whether you have a sprawling rural plot or a modest urban or suburban garden, we will guide you to make confident, long-term decisions that will benefit your space for decades.
We will cover:
- Choosing the Right Tree: How to select species that will thrive in your specific soil and changing local climate, rather than just surviving.
- Designing for Microclimates: How to use trees strategically to create shade, block wind, and protect your other plants.
- Planting for Resilience: The crucial steps to take during the first year of planting to ensure deep, drought-resistant root systems.
- The Forest Garden Approach: How to build a low-maintenance, multi-layered garden where trees, shrubs, and ground cover support each other naturally.
You are not just planting a tree; you are designing your peace of mind for the future.
Join us, and learn how to build a garden that grows stronger with every passing season no matter what the weather.
Note: This course is a perfect introduction to our approach. If you enjoy this learning experience, it naturally leads into our signature 6-week blended learning course, Future Proof Your Garden in a Changing Climate, where we apply these same resilient design principles to your entire outdoor space.
