Please note that all courses and workshops do not include

  • Building the garden

  • Learning skills to build your garden

  • Recommendation of contractors and suppliers for hardscaping

The landscaping course empowered me to get into action. There was a sense of inclusivity and no criticism which helped me relax and be open with my own property. The visits to the other gardens was very special. Wonderful and valuable.

Luxe Workshops

Online or live sessions on topics requested by Luxe Garden Clients and Students.

These will be scheduled based on popular topics.

Yvette’s knowledge and willingness to share ideas / suggestions has been the most valuable part for me. Also being able to see other people’s gardens/ ideas and share has been very inspiring.

I found the group discussions and practical focus on what we wanted to do with our own gardens the most valuable. Great that the material was adapted to help with our issues – flat versus steep garden design challenges. Doing the “field trips” were a great add in option too.
