Get hands on and practical as you learn to cultivate and celebrate nature around you

From learning the skill of propagation and cultivation to creating floral arrangements that’ll impress, there are plenty of ways you can get hands on and practical in one of our Horticulture and Floristry courses.

An approved RHS provider

We’re an approved centre for RHS training and offer both recreational courses and qualification led training to help you move into the horticulture industry. Our Floristry courses are accredited; and offer both BTEC and City and Guilds qualifications.

Our Horticulture and Floristry courses are practical hands-on courses, and each week you’ll get to put into practice the new skills that you learn. Many of our Tutors are practicing professionals, such as our Floristry tutor who runs their own Florist. Whether you are looking to learn recreationally or to take the first steps in changing career; our passionate tutors will support you to get the most out of each and every lesson.

Courses for both recreational and professional learning

Whether you are interested in gardening and want to learn principles of design, or if you are looking to improve your knowledge on plant health and nutrition, our RHS qualifications are a brilliant way to enter the horticulture industry or take-home new inspiration for your own garden.

If you’ve got a passion for flowers and being creative, our Floristry courses can help you discover a new relaxing hobby or even inspire you to take up a new career as a florist.

Our courses will teach you how to perfect your floral arrangements and create showpieces for all occasions; you can learn to make buttonholes and corsages for weddings, create table arrangements and wreaths that will impress.
