Beginner friendly: Moderate

I’d rate it a 3 because while becoming a garden consultant doesn't require formal qualifications, it does demand a good understanding of plants, gardening techniques, and local climate conditions. Beginners can start by offering basic advice to friends and family, but building a client base and reputation takes time. Online resources and communities can provide valuable knowledge, but practical experience is crucial. Earning a profit may take longer as initial efforts might involve unpaid work to gain experience and credibility.
