Do you love gardens?
Do you have a flair for design?
If so, you should consider becoming a garden
designer.
But how do you get into garden design (or landscape
design as many people call it)?
It isn't easy. Garden design is a closed world.
Few people know how to lay out a design, how to
find clients, or what to charge
|
 |
That’s why this course is so useful. It tells
you all you need to know about professional  garden design.
Having a client approve your first design is a real
thrill. And it’s surpassed only by the pleasure
of getting money for it. Imagine getting paid for doing
what you enjoy.
A new career?
Garden design can be your main work, or it can provide
a second income. You can work from home, either part
or full time, and you get to meet interesting people.
Wouldn’t you love to spend all day in the fresh
air, walking around gardens? Planning how to make them
really special? Wouldn't you enjoy having tea in the
shade with the earnest owners, showing them how to make
their dreams come true?
There are very few costs. You just need a phone and
a notebook. Virtually every penny you earn is profit.
