Thanks, Jordan. I’ve been compiling a list of resources online, and I am finding that alot of them offer classes and seminars for OCNT or APLD credits. And I hadn’t thought of Garden clubs before, but you are 100% correnct, and the great thing about the green industry is that everyone involed in it is quick to share their info and experiences. On the job front, I am currently looking for a green industry job, but didn’t get a hit this past spring. Although I will keep looking for the remainder of the year, I know my best opprtunities lie in the late winter/early spring, so I will continue to “bone up” on my plant/design information to help put me in the best situation. Thanks again for the input – I greatly appreciate it!

Thanks, Nick. The diploma I have just gave me a brief bit of info on all those topics, and it’s just not enough for me to get started in the business. I do have a few good books (Dirr’s Woody Plants, Booth’s Residential Landscape Arch.) which help. I was just looking for classes or a program that one could do from home to help advance my knowledge, primarily in the areas of design, sustainability, and green industry business. But thank you for your input.
