The new landscape certification program is a system that easily allows to demonstrate their skills and receive quality feedback. I think everyone is going to appreciate the rapid, specific, and timely feedback they will receive after submitting their portfolio videos. The flexibility of completing the certification should make this highly desirable for every landscape contractor in Canada. The Landscape Horticulture Certification will be a future must in promoting skilled work to clients in both residential and commercial fields.
