Robert Littlepage, RLA; QWEL is Founder of the School and the primary lecturer. He's a dynamic, enthusiastic instructor, bringing 30 years of experience as a Designer, Contractor and Landscape Architect to the program. Class size is limited to 10 students to ensure that each student receives the personal attention necessary to assure their success.

The Beginning and Advanced Courses at the California School of Garden Design were among the best garden design courses that I have taken. These courses solidified my knowledge of landscape and design to help make me one of the best professionals in Caracas.

Rob, I think you are great teacher and you have mastered the art in this field to Perfection. You have the passion and ability to convey to each student all your knowledge and experience. I was delighted to have received this knowledge through your school and now that I'm working again in my company in Venezuela, I realize how much I learned and apply it every day in my new designs.

Thank you!
