Hi Duncan. Just spotted your profile. Hope this year's course goes well. It's now a very long time since I attended - but still valuable to me today, even though I haven't done much pure garden design for a while. Probably the best investment of time and money I've made! By the way, really like your photo work.

Let's hope they will not be as disruptive as our group were! Duncan runs a fantastic course - highly recommended - but not for the faint hearted. I did not see my kids for the whole year that I was on it! (I'll leave you to decide whether that's an advantage or not!)

Started new course this week and off to a fantastic start.
