The NGC welcomes all interested gardeners
to landscape design school whose purpose is to
develop an appreciation of the
environment, both natural and built.
The curriculum covers a wide range of subjects:
from landscape design history to landscape
architecture in the year 2000 and beyond. Since
its founding in 1958, professional instructors
have maintained the high standards originally
incorporated in the study program. The program
consists of a series of four courses, held about
six months apart, scheduled usually for two days
of instruction, followed by a general examination
on the morning of the third day.
Students acquire the tools for making their own
gardens more beautiful and easier to maintain.
Many students have been motivated to serve in
political decision-making areas where awareness of
the impact of a well-designed landscape can
enhance the beauty and enjoyment of life in the
public arena.
Although the courses are intended primarily for
garden club members, they are open to the general
public, requiring only the payment of a nominal
fee. Garden club members completing the series of
four courses are awarded the designation of
Landscape Design Consultant and are encouraged to
join the FFGC Landscape Design Consultants
Council.
