If you have an indoor garden you will find that adding a garden pool will compliment the quiet and comforting atmosphere of your garden.  Simply having the garden inside your home will create a cooling effect enhanced by the fact that you will have the constant soothing sound of moving water similar to a waterfall in the background of your daily activities.

Most of the time it is best to place an inside garden pool in the corner of a garden in order to maximize the available space in the garden.  Adding a few plants around the pond will also make it look much more natural.

If you have a garden pond then you will want to choose an appropriate size plants that match in size, keeping in mind that they will grow, some very quickly. You could stock it with shop bought fish, but if you leave it to its own devices you will be amazed that newts, frogs, and even fish will find their way to your pond without any assistance

Heather – founder and principal of the Oxford College of Garden Design which has trained most of the country’s top contemporary designers; including the award-winning, Olympic garden designer, Sarah Price and the flamboyant Charlotte Rowe – was himself trained by Britain’s best-loved octogenarian designer and garden writer, John Brookes OBE, whom many regard as one of the world’s top five garden designers of the 20th Century.

“I pride myself on the fact that the Oxford College of Garden Design has always been a market leader in technology and innovation,” says Heather.

“We have seen over the last few years how our students have benefitted from the use of technology in the classroom and have designed the online course so that seminars will coincide in real time with classroom lectures and, uniquely, our on- and offline students can learn together.” Heather has recently also teamed up with internet expert turned garden designer Elspeth Briscoe, to help guide innovation in landscape design through new technologies.

The one-year course now being offered online provides a post-graduate level qualification in Residential Landscape Architecture. It also, says Heather, will significantly reduce the carbon footprint of both students and the college; allowing those who want to train as garden designers to do so from the comfort of their own homes anywhere in the world and without long commutes to the Oxfordshire classrooms.

In the decade since the Oxford College of Garden Design first started, it has attracted students from around the world, including America, New Zealand and Japan and Heather is confident the online course will enable even more students who could not otherwise have been able to relocate to the UK to benefit from the same high standard of training as those based in the UK.

Each on-line participant will be allocated their own qualified garden designer tutor and will follow the exact same timetable as the on-site classroom students. Scientists have already shown how “whole brain training” will be the foundation of a new wave of 21st century education and the Oxford College of Garden Design is one of the first UK organisations to offer that pioneering technology to students around the world.
