I just have a botanical background and love plants. I enjoyed this introductory course to the design aspects a lot, it allowed me to understand why some gardens appeal and some not, and the basics steps to cover in a design. I specially liked all the links provided to broaden the aspects of creativity in the design of landscape, for instance to different museums and artists.

I loved it! I am an architect and it is impressive how the author of the course has made an effort to explain each step of the process for landscape design, also providing valuable references such as books and great professionals who we can research and expand on all the information. It has inspired me a lot.
