Course description
What will I learn?
This is an excellent starting point if you are completely new to Horticulture. You gain a good working knowledge by combining practical projects with some classroom based study. Learn how to prepare soil, grow & care for plants, plant them out, maintain them and look after tools & machinery. You spend up to two days gaining vital work experience. You also gain personal & social development skills which help you with your studies and finding a job, plus essential Functional Skills qualifications in maths, English and ICT. As part of the Foundation Learning offer, this course gives you an introduction to lots of other subject options as well as Horticulture. You will need safety boots and warm clothes for working outdoors.
