Landscape Design Schools
The NGC welcomes all
interested gardeners to landscape design school whose purpose is to
develop an appreciation of the environment, both natural and built.
The
curriculum, in a series of four courses, covers a wide range of
subjects: from landscape design history to landscape architecture in
the year 2000 and beyond. Since its founding in 1958, professional
instructors have maintained the high standards originally incorporated
in the study program. Also offered are many optional programs, such as
conferences, symposia and tours. Students acquire the tools for making
their own gardens more beautiful and easier to maintain. Many students
have been motivated to serve in political decision-making areas where
awareness of the impact of a well-designed landscape can enhance the
beauty and enjoyment of life in the public arena.
