Im looking to do a landscape/garden design and construction course at a college in England, does anyone know the best courses or colleges that do this sort of thing.
Thanks.
Why not contact the royal horticultural society and see if they can give you some advice.
I am looking for information regarding the background and origins of the "tropical gardening" style for a garden design course that I am doing. There is a lot of information available regarding Zen Gardens, English Country Gardens, Cottage Gardens, etc but very little about the background and history of tropical gardens. Can anyone suggest any helpful resources that could assist me with finding answers? Thanks in advance!
The Tropical Garden by William Warren, Luca Invernizzi Tettoni (Photographer), opens with an essay tracing the historical interest in tropical plants. Royal and religious, private and public tropical gardens are discussed:

Daniel Headrick, “Botany, Chemistry, and Tropical Development,” Journal of World History notes that the growing demand of Western consumers and industries for tropical products... helped spur relations between the North Atlantic countries and the tropics in the century before 1914.

Tropical Garden Design, by Made Wijayahas includes a history of tropical colonial gardens:

" Tropical gardens can contain a wide variety of plants, but some require lots of heat while others require lots of water. Tropical gardens also don't often survive freezing temperatures either, so many people in cooler climates choose to create tropical container gardens which can be taken inside when bitter cold winter temperatures come around.
Most tropical plants require a lot of sunlight though, so if you're planting them into a ground based garden or raised garden bed, be sure to choose the sunniest spot you can find in your yard. You'll want to plant tropical plants and flowers in areas which get a minimum of six hours direct sunlight each day. Some tropical garden plants such as bougainvillea, thrive on irregular watering patterns"
Esperanza and Spanish Broom are excellent plants to put into a tropical garden, which are both heat and drought tolerant. These plants produce bright showy yellow flowers that bloom continuously from spring through fall.

Use plants that give you a lush tropical feel, like palms, ferns and elephant ears, but also use water features, such as a fountain, waterfall, pond or stream:

Many plants grown as houseplants, such as cactus & Agave, thrive outside in a semi-arid tropical environment. "In regions where the heat of the growing season is followed by frost or freezing temperatures, tropical plants are often dug up and overwintered, used as houseplants, or simply repurchased for use the next growing season."

Good luck !!! Hope this is helpful.
Years ago I worked in a amateur way in gardening maintenance. I realice that I liked it a lot but I don't have the specific knoledge and experience to start a landscape and gardening design business. I have the feeling that I have the creativity for doing this but of course this is not all. Could someone help me telling me the kind of tools that I would require to start this gradually? Maybe I would requiere to know some landscape design software, etc. In short, what kind of tools would be necesary to have and learn. Maybe the thing would be more complex like doing an Business plan? I'll thank any advice. Chris

Gardener: A truck or trailer to carry your equipment and debris (although some enterprising people have even started without this). A lawn mower, rake, broom, and other small hand tools. Buy your equipment used if necessary, but shop carefully.
Landscaper: Basically you need hand tools and a truck or trailer. To start with most other tools you can rent.
Interiorscaper: A car or truck is necessary, watering cans, and assorted small hand tools.
>From the basic requirements to start it would seem that interiorscaping requires the smallest capital outlay. This is correct, but starting an interiorscape business is more difficult in other ways. It requires a better understanding of the trade. Indoor plants are much more difficult to maintain. Also, acquiring accounts is not as easy as in outdoor work. Most, if not all, interiorscape accounts will be commercial, as opposed to the residential work of gardeners.
For gardeners and landscapers a truck or trailer is a must, but as I mentioned earlier it is possible to start without one for some work. If you are doing maintenance you may be able to get accounts that will allow you to use their equipment and not require you to haul away debris. You will be expected to work very inexpensively, though. If you can get a truck do so.
For both gardeners and landscapers another source of income is from clean-ups. This is simply a one-time job of cleaning up an overgrown landscape. These jobs are hard work, but can be quite profitable.
In every business you have to contend with the government. Service businesses are no different. Before you get started investigate what is required in your area. Most likely you will need a business license from your city. The state may require a contractor's license or certification for landscape contractors. Most likely your state will require a pest control license if you intend to apply pesticides. Check out all the city, state, and federal rules before you start.

Garden of Contrasts « Degraafassoc#39;s Blog
Garden and design enthusiasts! If you haven’t been to Cornerstone in Sonoma, you MUST go. I went way back when they first opened several years ago, then again a few months ago. I was thinking this morning how very difficult and rare it is to have a project that exudes a sense of place. A project that is its own thing and cannot be mistaken for another. Gardens that are just weird match this description and are usually the paoduct of a particular person’s eccentricity….and very often, I find them amusing but not an emotional draw. No real sense of seeing something important, I suppose you could say.
However, when I was last at Cornerstone, I saw the Garden of Contrasts by Oehme and van Sweden for the first time. WELL! Spikey, beautiful green Agaves sit solidly among ever-swishing Stipa tenuissima and the flower heads of Allium caeruleum and the occasional California Poppy. The scene doesn’t stop moving, revealing those little teensy hits of pure blue (the Allium flowers) and orange. I could see evidence of other bulbs having bloomed and finished before my visit, and I can imagine how this garden might change through all 4 seasons (I must visit just to make sure, of course). I wish Sonoma wasn’t a couple of hours’ drive away or I’d be there all the time. I’d get a coffee and sit near the Garden of Contrasts and write letters, daydream, design, jot ideas. They’d have to kick me out.
