We are proud to have great
diversity of students in
many ways. There are no
limitations in Limperts
Academy of Design. We are
capable of passing on our
knowledge, support and
experience to interested and
inspired students regardless
of their age, previous
education, experience or
profession. We are happy to
have students from all "four
corners" of the world and we
are constantly learning from
our students, in a
never-ending effort to
better and excel our
courses. We can say that we
are true believers in equal
opportunity for all!
Student’s Websites
page is new addition to the
array of student support
pages we already have. We
want to give the opportunity
to our former and present
students to be seen on these
pages.
This is a modern way of
connecting people with same
interests. Networking is
vital in Landscape and
Garden Design, as in any
other profession.
Furthermore, this is an
invitation to all of you who
want to be part of this
great project, so feel free

e-mail will secure your

Even in the current economic
climate, opportunities will
be available for people who
are willing to be part of
the "big picture".

Conor said about his experience with Limperts Academy of Design:
“Before signing up for the course with Limperts Academy of Design I was a project manager in the construction industry, with a degree in Civil Engineering. Whilst I had always had a keen interest in design generally, it was not until I bought my first house that I really developed an interest in garden design.
I chose to study Landscape and Garden Design with Limperts Academy. I was looking to learn more about planting and softscaping, always a weak area for me, and to get some hints about the whole design process. After finishing the course, I can say that it has far exceeded all my expectations. I was not expecting it to cover so much ground and to give us such a basis with which to actually become a professional garden designer.
During my studies, RTE were planning a new TV programme. The production company was looking for amateur garden designers to design and build a garden. The show, Super Garden, would be judged with the final winner being put forward to create a garden at Bloom 2009.
The TV show gave me the push that I needed. I decided that if there was even a chance that I could be earning a living from doing something that I absolutely loved doing I would be crazy not to at least try!
Since July this year, we have designed and built four gardens. We have been commissioned to do nearly 20 designs for clients. We are also currently working with one of the main sponsors of the Ireland's Bloom 2009 show where we have been asked to design and construct their main stands for the flower tent at next years event.
It’s been quite a year since I decided to take up the Limperts Academy Diploma in Garden Design & Landscaping. Looking back now it has proved to have been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.“
