There was a very positive article about the work of Garden Design Diploma graduate, Sheila Dearing, who studied via Open Learning. It explained that after 30 years as a medical scientist working in breast cancer research this was a major life change but it made perfect sense to pursue her passionate interest in organic gardening and design as a career. Sheila takes inspiration for her gardens from her experience of gardens in a variety of environments around the world. The article has already resulted in three potential commissions.
