LAGD Study Tour October 2019

This week undergraduate and postgraduate Landscape Architecture and Garden Design students have undertaken a two-day study tour to look at similar landscape types at differing scales.

First on the itinerary was the garden and landscape at Rousham House, Oxfordshire, designed by William Kent. It is an outstanding example of a classical English Landscape Garden, which is still in private ownership with a functioning walled kitchen garden and pleasure grounds. Their next stop took them to Waterperry Gardens, an educational landscape that is constantly evolving and has a fine plant collection.

The second day saw a visit to Sheffield Park, Sussex, a large scale landscape garden with an outstanding tree collection integrated into a landscape designed by Capability Brown. At this time of year the collection provides a blaze of autumn colour, allowing students to explore a collection of plants that is truly extraordinary.

Autumn Fungi

Autumn is a great time of year to see some wonderful colours in nature, such as with this beautiful Amanita muscaria fungi photographed on the main Writtle campus this morning.

Landscape Talk - Corrine Payne

Earlier this week Corrine Payne from Tom Stuart-Smith Landscape Design gave a fascinating talk to Landscape Architecture and Garden Design students about the garden design projects that she is involved with in the practice.

Corrine is one of our successful alumni who completed the 2 year MA Landscape Architecture course in 2016 and has been working in garden design since her graduation from WUC.
