Garden history is an exceptionally interesting subject, bringing together art, architecture, horticulture, design and social history. It is essential knowledge for those who manage historic gardens and valuable for professional garden designers and landscape architects whose education may not have covered design history in sufficient depth. Garden history is the greatest repository of ideas for garden design and landscape architecture. To understand the particularity of single garden it is helpful to have a broad knowledge of garden and landscape history. This can be gained on a university online program (home study) using open learning materials and elearning web resources. Students can learn in their own home at their own pace.
