PART ONE: DRAWING UP A WISH LIST


Before you put pen to paper, you need to draw up a wish list of all the things you want to have in your garden. Don't think about practicalities right now, or even cost. Simply list everything you want as if space and budget were unlimited. Later, you might reduce your wish list but, for now, just list everything.

It's really important that you have this list to hand as you work through the course since you will be referring to it throughout. It is best to either print or save the form below and use it for your reference:

Wish list form

ELEMENTS OF THE WISH LIST

Buildings Places to sit Boundaries

Water Structures Utilities

Paths Lawns and gravel Borders and planting

Accessories Lighting

Once you have a complete list of all the elements you want to include in your finished garden, your next step is to progress to part two of the course: choosing a garden design style.
