London College of Garden Design, Regents Park, London

Last night I travelled from Suffolk to attend the 1st Anniversary of the London College of Garden Design (Regents College, Regents Park, London) opening, attended by the great and the good, including myself, as well as a number of the students form its inaugral course in Garden Design. Normally, I am sceptical of students on garden design courses but the ones I spoke to seemed well grounded, albeit still alot of growing to do in the profession, naturally given their short exposure. They are without doubt though, in safe hands, with an excellent pedigree of course directors in Mark Gregory (Landscape Construction Guru), Andrew Wilson (Designer, Writer and RHS judge) and Andrew Fisher-Tomlin (Designer, Writer, All round decent chap and Thrive Trustee). It was an honour to be invited and to have the opportunity to meet garden designers of the future and Chloe remember to send your CV to me at deakinlock garden design!

Congratualtions to the students and directors on a great achievement and a successful 1st year - Happy Birthday.
