Grow a Spectacular Garden in Pots by Arthur Parkinson
Prompted by a dear reader’s question (Hi, Sheena!) I realized that, while I have reviewed a number of Create Academy courses on the blog, many of you are perhaps still not familiar with the platform, so I thought I’d give you a flavor of their amazing mission and course offerings. Create Academy is a learning platform focusing on arts, crafts, gardening, food and interior design. They launched in November 2019 with an online course by the British interior decorator Rita Konig, followed by a class on floristry with the lovely Willow Crossley. Since then, they’ve expanded their curriculum to include numerous interior design and styling courses, gardening and cooking classes, as well as arts and crafts – my favorite. If you love audiobooks and podcasts, this is, in many ways, an even better learning opportunity because you get to watch experts do the vey thing you’d like to get better at. In addition, each course comes with a free lesson you can sample before making up your mind, which I found very useful. (Bellow is a link to such a free sample taken from Rita Konig’s fantastic class – The Ultimate Guide to Interior Design.)
