Horticulture

Our range of Horticulture courses and apprenticeships enables you to get a real idea about the many possibilities that the industry has to offer.

We use practical hands-on teaching along with underpinning knowledge from trained professionals both within the College and from the industry.

Whilst on the programme you will get the opportunity to work in a variety of situations and locations. We make full use of the 400-acre historic estate and the grade 2 listed parks and gardens to practice in and develop your skills in line with industry requirements.
