What do you honestly think about someone who goes to "Oxford" for gardening?

I have a close relative who went to Oxford for gardening yet they do really LITTLE of it (planting,designing, watching beaufiful plants grow).

Basically they haven't any real experience, only book knowledge.

Yet I have this neighbor close by who is an avid gardener/plants many shrubs, bulbs,seeds, trees~just about ANYTHING you could think of. They enjoy it, get down in the soil and plant away .....

What do you think of the person who took gardening classes at Oxford TRYING to give advice to AN EXPERIENCED gardner of several years?

(tries to tell them what to plant, basically talking down to them,ect--when all they've personally planted was a couple of rose bushes and tomato plants?)

What's your opinion on this matter please?

THank you for your thoughts

There seem to be a lot of people with high dollar diplomas that think that means they can talk down to anyone no matter the subject.



But I've known people with less than an eighth grade education who were capable of amazing things in the real world.
Reply:After hearing that I would say that really lowers their standard of education. I am a gardener, and it does not require one to be a brain surgeon first, ha. ha. Oh , I have heard them all now, thank-you for the enlightment.
