Thanks for the replies. My main interest lies in garden design and
project management, weather that be a small domestic garden or small
business grounds. I like the idea of designing from scratch rather than
on- going maintenence (although that is obviously part of it). Perhaps
landscape gardener is the wrong title?

Landscape architect, perhaps?

In our experience, such people don't always know a lot about plants so if
you're not already pretty knowledgeable, some basic training in that
direction could only help you. I remember visiting the Getty Museum gardens
and being told that, to design them, the landscape architect had to go off
and learn something about planting them!
