Short version
Should I go on a garden design course? I enjoy faffing with deciding what I'm doing in the garden.

They have good reviews and affiliated to staffs uni for the interior design stuff.
Anyone done a course like this? Would anyone use the services of a garden designer?
TLDR ( Too long, didn't read version )
Many moons ago when I lived in my old house, I used to enjoy pottering around our garden and doing 'stuff' to it. I completely redesigned our front garden and the beds in the back garden. Not saying they were great, I was only about 20 just went with what popped into my head, but people would hang over the wall and tell me it looked good wether through manners or truth I don't know.
Moved to the current house in 1991 - eek, so long ago - and never got to grips with the garden, partly because for the first 10 years I was busy building the business up and literally had no time and moved to having little time; secondly Tony like the lawn up the side of the house that I detested, and the hedge, which cut out a lot of light. Anyway, once he'd headed to the great truckstop in the sky, I ripped out the visible from space hedge about 6 months later and last year dug up the lawn.
Currently I've re-done the small garden on the left into an alpine area - it's small and shady, there's a limit to what you can do with it and if I say so myself, it looks very pretty. The area to the right as you come in has been planted, again only small and a section as we go round the side has a naturalistic prairie style planting ( well that's what I'm calling it:rolleyes:). Intentions include a pond, a bog garden and in the sunny bit a whole lot of bee/butterfly/insect friendly flowers and shrubs. The I start on the back and the patio area.....
So the interest has always been there and I've half an eye on what I do when I finish with the trucks ( don't read anything into that), but inevitably the day will come when I just don't want the stress and I'd rather have a small business I could run alongside the current one whilst building up and then move to part-time at some unspecified point in the future.
Well done for getting to the end if you read the TLDR bit!
