Garden Design Program
Our Garden Design Program takes a practical approach to gardens and landscapes by looking at the process involved in layouts and planting as well as the art of garden design. The required courses have been designed to be relevant for both beginners and avid gardeners. They give you the opportunity to work with current horticulture professionals as you build the knowledge and skills you need to design, install, and maintain gardens in Ontario. Some courses offer field trips for enriched learning experiences.
This program is offered by George Brown College Continuing Education in partnership with the Toronto Botanical Garden.
Career Opportunities
For those who are new to the industry, career options typically include entry-level garden designer positions. Experienced garden designers may see career development through updated skills.
