Brand new Pruning Short Course
What does our Principal, John Mason, have to say about the course?
"This is an ideal professional development course or training program for anyone working in gardening or horticulture. The ability to prune plants properly is a skill which most people working in horticulture struggle with. Lots of gardeners could offer a far better service to clients or employers if they do this course. People seeking to start or improve a business can benefit, and people seeking work may give themselves a real edge over competitors with this course.
Home gardeners will benefit too -it can help them to maintain their gardens with greater confidence, keep their plants healthier and looking much better.
If someone wants to work as a gardener, and take just one course to improve their chances of getting a job -this is an excellent one to choose."
The course requires 20 hours of study and is an excellent course for anyone wanting to work as a gardener.
