Planting & Water Features Courses

From trees and hedges to lawns and flowerbeds, soft landscaping elements shape any outdoor environment. However, in order to create beautiful green spaces, it’s essential that all those working in the horticulture sector understand the fundamentals of plant care and how to ensure healthy growth.

Here at the Landscape Academy, we offer a number of planting courses for those looking to enhance their expertise. Our educators use a mix of both classroom and practical learning to equip you with all the skills and knowledge you’ll need to maintain and care for any outdoor space. Boasting a number of diverse training areas, our purpose-built facility helps our students gain hands-on experience working in real-world conditions.

Water features are a great addition to any outside space, and we also offer irrigation training and an advanced water feature course. With our help, learners will understand the benefits of water features and irrigation systems in landscaping projects, as well as how to design and install pump systems. Our one-of-a-kind Advanced Water Feature course offers learners the chance to get hands-on training in how to design, create and install various water features – an opportunity that just isn’t available at other training providers.

Sustainable Landscaping Courses

We also offer a sustainability course for those looking to increase their knowledge of biodiversity and integrate more green practices into their landscaping work. This will educate students on what biodiversity and sustainability mean in the design, landscape and horticulture industries and provide learners with skills to create outdoor spaces that not only look great but also champion biodiversity. 

Whether you’re a total newcomer to landscaping or you’re a seasoned professional looking to refresh your expertise, our soft landscaping courses can cater to all abilities.
