Dear all,

My wife is extremely interested in gardening and is considering starting
her
own garden design / consultancy service.

However, before she starts, she would like to gain a gardening
qualification
to prove her knowledge, the thing is there seems to be quite a few
different
courses available.

So my question is :- What would be the most "recognised" or respected
gardeining qualification that someone could acquire ?

Many thanks,

Paul.



Paul as a practical person, may I point out that experience and proof of
what 'has' been done, is far more important than qualifications. If she is a
keen gardener she already knows a lot!!

Let her design and 'do' gardens for friends and neighbours and then
photograph them :-))
