Answer

What is the difference between a garden designer and a landscape architect?

A garden designer does private gardens; a landscape architect does larger public and planning-led schemes.

In short

A garden designer focuses on private gardens: the planting, materials and how the space is used. A landscape architect is a separately-regulated profession that more often handles larger public, commercial or planning-led schemes. For a domestic garden, a garden designer or a design-and-build firm is usually who you want.
