To design professionally, you must know 70%+ of local nursery plants by sight: mature size, growth rate, light needs, hardiness microclimates (e.g., Peachtree City vs. Kennesaw), and Latin names. Drafting skill (hand or CAD) is essential for presentation.
Work under an experienced designer for a year before leading client projects. Lanier Tech's certificate helps, but field mentorship is irreplaceable. Avoid 'encore azalea everywhere' designs—clients deserve plant diversity.
If you're an avid gardener with strong plant ID, you may transition faster. But know your limits—design errors cost clients money and trust.
