Hi, Kentish maid - are you based in Kent? I took a RHS Level 2 cert. in Essex through Capel Manor. I would ring Capel Manor and ask about career advice as they are a Horticultural College http://www.capel.ac.uk/
Hi Daintiness - yes I am currently in Kent. Thanks for the tip about Capel Manor, I will give them a call. I am also planning on going to Hadlow College open evening next week - so hopefully i'll find out some mor info then.
There isn't any such thing as a legal garden designer. If there was then there are an awful lot of illegal designers on this website alone.
Like many talent based careers it is what you can do that matters, not what any piece of paper says. Look out for local free magazines that carry adverts and editorial pieces about local gardens, they can be a good source of leads. You will probaly have to write your own copy for them and take your own photos but they are a good way to get your skills out there.

Thanks for your advise Steephill!
Maybe the Society of Garden Designers can give you some advice
