What the college says

This course covers a wide range of Horticultural subjects and is aimed at four distinct careers paths within the Horticultural industry: production horticulture, garden design, hard and soft landscaping, and garden amenity maintenance. On completion of the course the students will have the knowledge and skills to start their own garden maintenance company, undertake site surveying and garden design briefs for clients, grow a variety of crops in an environmental commercial situation for clients/garden centres and to landscape clients' gardens from building walls, nurseries, concreting, raised beds, fencing and paving. Students will, as part of the course, have responsibility to maintain the public gardens at Broadview, as well as be involved in the new gardens. They will gain supervisory experience through assisting some groups within the gardens and be responsible for some horticultural crop production. In addition, all Level 3 students will have the opportunity to undertake the learning and assessment of the RHS Level 2 Certificate in Practical Horticulture. Achievement of this Level 2 qualification is subject to an additional registration, assessment and certification fee which will require self-funding by all students. Cost information will be provided nearer the time along with payment options
