Garden Advisers and Consultants offer invaluable services, saving time and treasure whilst ensuring the well-being of gardens and both commercial and private estates.
There are many and varying specialist talents available from these highly skilled professionals, but until now, locating a particular solution to a problem has been time consuming and difficult. Now, and for the first time, Independent Professional Garden Consultants are available simply by deciding which type of advice you require and contacting the Professional Garden Consultants Association (www.pgca.uk.org)
Members do not pay any referral commissions or fees over and above their annual membership subscription. The Association is formed of Independent Consultants, who offer their services at rates agreed and contracted between Client and Consultant. This is a very important part of the relationship between the Association and individual Members. The Association does not favour any one Consultant above another, nor receive any incentives, financial or otherwise from either Client or Consultant. The Register of Members is designed to enable clients to select their own chosen Specialist, each operating their own fees structure within their area of expertise and region. Every Member is completely independent. Engaging the services of any member is a matter only between the customer and the individual Member. The Association has no contract or obligation with either party, all such matters being beyond the control of the PGCA. Members are totally independent, and there is no requirement on any party to advise the Association of any contracts undertaken. The Association Register is purely there for your information and use as a general guide. As a new Association, the number of accredited Members is expected to rise during the course of the next twelve months. Please re-visit in the unlikely event that you may not immediately locate a suitable Member or one that is based within a reasonable distance, email Alan Sargent at alan@pgca.org.uk for assistance.
