“When I first considered going off on my own and starting my own landscape and garden design business, it seemed important to me to have formal credentials and the backing of an industry association. Becoming a VCH seemed to me to be a way to accumulate my broad-reaching resume into a single credential easily presented to any potential new client. Being certified reassures our clients that we have the advanced knowledge and experience to do a good job for them, and to mentor them and enhance what they are already doing in their gardens and landscapes.”
