Flower Gardening

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 bulb Garden Designs 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 thoughtsActually, to be quite honest, they went to Oxford years ago for gardening.Have played know-it-all regarding whenever the chance arises–however they have NOT personally gotten experience in their own backyard, aside from using sprinklers, planting a couple of crape myrtles, roses and putting up to solar lights I sent them during a holiday. Oh–and mow the lawn.Nope, they’ve not done any landscaping whatsoever.I think they just went out of boredom and to “show off” to other family members frankly.One can self-educate w/experience and reading books.It’s the experience that goes along w/knowledge that’s more powerful for self rather than merely taking a couple of classes no matter where you attend under the sun.without REAL worldly experience, it’s not a real education IMO.
