What does a horticultural consultant do?

Horticultural consultants in Glasgow and elsewhere, like garden designers, have a number of different roles within their job. Horticultural consultants will have areas of specialism which may be production or ornamental horticulture, and they will often advise fellow professionals - such as growers and nurseries - or members of the public about their private gardens. Horticultural consultancy may also include invasive weed surveys (such as for japanese knotweed), be that in Glasgow or further afield. 

Tom Angel works as both a horticultural consultant, garden designer and japanese knotweed surveyor. Horticultural consultancy includes bespoke garden reports where residential customers who are looking for garden advice or garden ideas in Glasgow are able to benefit from Tom’s advice. This may be ideas on garden design, garden maintenance, soft landscaping, or problems with invasive weeds such as japanese knotweed. Similarly, property developers or property managers may be looking for horticultural advice on their grounds maintenance schedules, or again be looking for bespoke horticultural advice.

The japanese knotweed surveying industry is overseen by the Property Care Association and you should always look for a surveyor with the CSJK qualification whether you are tackling japanese knotweed in Glasgow or elsewhere - this stands for a ‘Certified Surveyor of Japanese Knotweed’.

As a Chartered Horticulturist, CSJK and qualified garden designer, Tom Angel is able to help with all these issues, so if you are looking for pragmatic horticultural advice for your garden design, japanese knotweed or general horticultural issues, drop Tom a line today.
