As a landscape architect from Denmark, I was interested in the Hugelk Soil Science and Engineering course at Stanmore School of Business because of its focus on sustainable and regenerative design principles. The course provided a thorough introduction to the Hugelk method and its applications in urban and rural contexts. I appreciated the attention to detail and the emphasis on technical skills, such as soil testing and analysis. The course materials were well-researched and up-to-date, although I would have liked to see more examples from European contexts. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others working in landscape design and environmental planning. One area for improvement could be the addition of more interactive elements, such as discussion forums or group projects, to enhance the learning experience.
