    Dear Ms. Mathews
    Please forward information on all courses you feel are appropriate:
    I have 1) graduated from college (animation) with plan and 3d rendering included, 2) belonged to the local Royal Botanical Gardens and taken seminars on various subjects, 3) been to night-school for basic horticulture and MS Excel (spreadsheets), 4) worked nights and weekends for the last 15 years as a gardener for a half-dozen clients, 5) had to stop due to severe arthritis, 6) have been ‘down-sized’ from my day job. I am looking for something that would add a more professional air to my CV than the one-off and part-time learning I can list now. I am available on LinkedIn and Facebook, and would deeply appreciate any advice there as well.
    Thank-you,
    Debbie Long

    Hi Debbie

    I will send you details as soon as the course becomes available. Unfortunately due to a really heavy workload, I suspect that it will be 2011 before the advanced course is ready.

    If this is something you want to do professionally then you might want to take a look at the Oxford Garden Design School. Duncan Heather the principle was on the same Teacher Training course I was for interactive online courses. So although I’ve not done his course, I’m sure it will be excellent having gone through the same training I have.

    It’s considerably dearer than any course I run but that is because there is a usable qualification at the end of it whereas I cater more for homeowners and landscapers who want to learn how to design. His course can be viewed here: http://www.garden-design-courses.co.uk/
