In many parts of the world, gardening has ceased to be a hobby of housewives to become a profession. While there are still many amateur gardeners who learn their knowledge through trial and error, there are also prestigious institutions that increase their enrollment year after year due to the increasing demand.
If one option or the other is better? I think that there is no single answer because it depends a bit on the final objective and personal interests, the way in which we want to work with plants and if we want to make them a way of life or it is about enjoying their beauty without higher demands.
But since it never hurts to study to learn more about their needs is that today I am dedicated to offering information for those who want study gardening and landscaping.
The options
The first thing is to know that before starting a technical degree or an undergraduate degree it is possible to perform hundreds of gardening courses taught by many institutions dedicated to the activity, from gardening schools that depend on botanical gardens to institutes or classes taught by specialists in the field. If the idea is learn about plants In order to enjoy garden work, I think this can be a very viable option since the courses offer a multifaceted approach and this is how you can start with some basic gardening classes and then continue with the garden, succulents, pests and others. Each course works independently although you will need a basic knowledge to be able to take advantage of what certain courses offer. These courses are generally organized at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.
As for the gardening careers, there is a range of options. A very complete one is the one in which you receive from Garden and florist technician, mid-level title that will allow you to defend yourself and develop the profession without inconvenience since fundamental subjects are addressed to understand the nature of plants. Among the subjects are the principles of plant health, agronomic fundamentals, phytosanitary control, agricultural facilities, plants in nursery or implantation, maintenance and improvement of gardens
Finally, there are the Master in Gardening that are dictated in different universities, such as Polytechnic of Valencia, the University of Granada and the Polytechnic of Catalonia.
