The SGD is the only professional association for garden designers, and our many national and international Members represent the very best of the industry. Since 1981, we have been championing excellence in garden design, and supporting our Members to train, work, develop and continually maintain the highest standards. The organisation was founded as the Garden Design Society by a group of eminent landscape designers, who came together to establish garden design as a serious profession. The Society now boasts a diverse Membership of both individual designers and practices. They are all experienced, competent, creative professionals, who have gone through a robust process of accreditation and abide by our Code of Conduct, and they work across a broad range of projects from roof terraces and urban courtyards to large country gardens and public parks. The Society also promotes best practice and continuing professional development through its conferences, workshops and seminars, its Journal and the annual SGD Awards. It represents garden designers within the wider horticulture and landscape industry on important issues, as well as engaging with the public to raise the profile of garden design.
