What are the steps for becomming a landscape designer (besides 4 year degree)?
My husband wants to be a landscape designer. He has a lot of skills but no formal training. He does not want to go to school for 4 years. What options does he have?
Good question because that is exactly the same dilemma that I am in. Since we are now down to 1 income in our family, I don't have the option of going to college and next year is also out of the question because my daughter graduates and she plans on going to college. Anyway, what I will be doing is taking the State Extension Service "Master Gardener" course and will be then certified as a Master Gardener. This course covers a lot about gardening and some about landscape design. Next, I have designed my own gardens in my backyard and by word of mouth and from pictures and people seeing the yard, I have received 2 requests from friends to design their yard. As soon as those jobs are complete, hopefully be word of mouth, I can get more jobs. I am taking it slow, and maybe your husband does not want to take it as slow as I am, but for me, this is a start! Good luck to your husband!

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events If you spliced Charles Addams, Dr. Seuss, Charles Dickens, Edward Gorey, and Roald Dahl into a Tim Burtonesque landscape, you'd surely come up with something like Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Many critics (in mostly mixed reviews) wondered why Burton didn't direct this comically morbid adaptation of the first three books in the popular series by Daniel Handler (a.k.a. "Lemo... |
