Description

Progress from Horticulture 1. This course is designed for students to advance their knowledge and skills. While the emphasis of the programme is on landscape maintenance and nursery stock production, students are encouraged to explore their own particular niche within horticulture.

In addition, it will have a focus on business management which will prepare the learners to set up their own firm or to manage existing firms. Students produce a crop of bedding plants which are sold at the end of year plant sale. Graduates may take up employment or may transfer into second year of a degree programme.
