Thank you so much for your email. I am delighted I did the course with your organisation and what I have learned is unparalleled.
It even surpassed my expectations. Not only was I taught about roof and walls, but the fact that I had to write 14 plant reviews after
every assignment gave me an opportunity to study plants. It was extra value added..
I believe the course was value for money and if I had to do another course online, I would be most delighted to take it at ADL". Moji A, Certificate in Green Walls and Roofs, UK ticulture,...
