Choosing a garden design course. Satomi Narui, Japan

Dear Mr.Hugh, I am writing to ask for your advice. I am at a crossroads in my life,please help me! I am 26 years old and Japanese who study English at a language school in Cambridge. I love garden and I am really interested in garden design. I want to be a professional garden designer. I would like to study garden design in England. However,I have never studied about garden design at school. I have already graduated from University in Japan but my subject was music, I researched some University or college which I can study, But I have nobody who knows about garden design very well. Therefor I have no idea which school is good or which qualification is necessary..Could you give me any advice about school in England? What should I study to be professional ? I really want to be professional garden designer.Please, please give me some advice!! I hope you have time to read this and don’t mind reading this. I wish you every success. Yours Sincerely, Satomi Narui
Forum (Hugh):Dear Satomi, Yes music does go with gardens. On my web site in the Links page is a link to the University of Gloucester They have several courses on Landscape and Garden Design. I would advise you choose one that incorporates Landscape design as well as garden design to be able to broaden your horizons in this multi discipline profession. I am also sending this reply to the Head of Department who will probably send you an email with some more information. Best of luck, Hugh O’Connell
Satomi: Dear Mr.Hugh, Thank you very much for your advice! It’s very kind of you. Now I try to get information from school which you recomended.
