Had an interesting phone call yesterday, from an ex-garden design student who is now looking to set up some gardening courses at Hatton Country World (www.hattonworld.com). Nothing finalised yet, but we’ll probably start with two day-courses in the autumn, one a general intro to garden design (I have taught garden design in the space of a weekend before now, but to cover the whole thing in a couple of hours is stretching it a bit), the other on plant propagation.
Hopefully we’ll be able to build this into something good. Hatton is on the way to Birmingham out of Warwick, so there’s no conflict with my existing commitments at Lamport Hall (www.lamporthall.co.uk) – besides, it’s a different set-up.

Coincidentally, today I’ve also pencilled in dates for the City and Guilds Garden Design Certificate at Warwickshire College in the autumn – I’ll post dates for all of these on my website (andrewmikolajski.com) when all are confirmed, in the next week or so. And provide more details in my next newsletter.
