Grow your skills from the ground up with our horticulture courses. Whether you’re brand new to gardening or looking to build on what you already know, our classes help you understand plants, soil, and seasons so you can create and care for green spaces at home, in your community, or at work.
From an Introduction to Gardening to Food Growing and Garden Design, our practical, hands-on courses are taught by experienced tutors who share real-world tips and techniques. These courses are ideal if you want to grow your own fruit and vegetables, improve your outdoor space, support your wellbeing, or explore a greener career path.
Most of our horticulture courses have no formal entry requirements. You don’t need previous gardening experience – just an interest in plants and being outdoors.
You’ll need a basic level of English so you can follow instructions and stay safe when using tools and equipment, but your tutor will support you with any reading or writing needed.
For accredited courses, there may be specific entry criteria, which we’ll explain before you enrol.
