Hi,

Thanks for your comment. Selina was keen that we put garden designer to describe her role even though in the clip she is carrying out garden maintenance.

Hi
As a garden designer I would like to now why your video about becoming a garden designer shows no designing? What Seline was doing looked lovely and enjoyable but is what I would call garden maintenance. It would seem unfair to give people an unrealistic view of what a garden designer does.
A video showing a designer at work would be great however and keep up the good wotk.
