In her function as the nationwide bdla spokesperson for plant use, she presented the vision "bdla certificate plant knowledge". The aim of the project is to increase the general level of plant knowledge in landscape architecture. For this purpose, together with university professors from Germany and neighbouring countries, there should be a coordinated list of species for a plant knowledge certificate in several levels of difficulty, which can be taken by students, as well as providing opportunities for follow-up training for interested landscape architects from practice. If possible, the examination should be taken externally or in cooperation with external parties. In Bavaria, the Akademie Landschaftsbau Weihenstephan could be considered as a cooperation partner.
