Abstract

A tiered hanging garden and Celtic tree of life knot are presented as visual metaphors to promote visualisation of a personal interpretation of the professional doctorate journey with respect to podiatric practice. Previously published quest, plant and gardener metaphors are discussed with reference to the acquisition and distribution of new knowledge through doctoral study. Visual metaphors are presented in order to facilitate a deeper appreciation of the complex interdependent relationships throughout the professional doctorate process of education, research and advancement of practice.
