Create Academy online courses are a great way to learn new skills and get inspiration to craft, design and gardening projects. The videos are beautifully edited and visually compelling, and I find myself referring back to my favourite courses and episodes regularly whilst working on my own projects. There are some really good and practical teachers, Rita Konig, The Land Gardeners, Troy Scott Smith, Sarah Raven, Julius Arthur, Micaela Sharp, to name a few. The only disappointing ‘course’ for me has been the one by Reena Simon, which felt more like interviewing a blogger who had renovated their own home than learning from someone who understands what design is and how it gets applied in different environments. My hope for the future is that the content would remain down-to-earth and practical enough for people who actually love doing their own gardening, making things and fixing stuff around the house. Of course there are jobs that require hiring a professional, but I still find that the teachers that put their hands in the clay leave me most inspired and ready to implement my learnings in real life, which for me is the point of learning. Before the annual subscription was available, I purchased a few individual courses. However, now that the content bank is so substantial, I would recommend the annual subscription to anyone. That leaves less pressure on a single course to deliver exactly what one was hoping for, while also introducing teachers and courses one was not particularly interested in – until starting the first lesson.
