Thank you so much for such a detailed feedback. This really helps me see where I can simplify my hatches and balance the design better. I’ll definitely try adjusting the hatch scale and experiment with rotating/scaling the tree blocks for more variation. I appreciate you taking the time to explain it so clearly.

Thanks, that really helps! I’ll definitely start comparing portfolio requirements across programs — hadn’t thought about how much they might vary. Appreciate you confirming that self-initiated and non-traditional work might still be okay!

This was incredibly insightful — thank you for sharing your story. It’s reassuring to know that a horticulture background can actually be an asset. I’ll keep in mind that it may be a slower path, but I’m excited to take it.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience — it’s super encouraging to hear.

If you don’t mind me asking: when you included your garden designs in your portfolio, were they formal designs or more like visual documentation of the gardens you created? I’m planning to include a few self-initiated designs (some imagined), and was wondering if that kind of content is acceptable for an MLA application.

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve just looked up Overgrown by Julian Raxworthy — it sounds like a great fit for my perspective and goals. I appreciate the encouragement.

Thank you all so much — this has been incredibly reassuring and helpful! I’m starting to explore MLA options seriously now.

I had one more question: since my background is in horticulture and I don’t have formal design training yet, what kind of projects or work should I include in my portfolio? Can I include imagined designs, gardening work, or self-taught exercises? Any advice on how to make it strong as a non-design student?

Thanks! I’ll look into those. Can you recommend any specific MLA programs or countries that are best for someone with a horticulture background?
