Horticulture
Are you passionate about
gardening? Do you crave adventure? Can you think on your feet to
create dynamic solutions to complex problems? If that sounds like
you, then our horticulture courses will give you the opportunity to
make your aspirations into a serious career.
If you think, like some
of our past students, you could be part of a team of four that
could build a garden in a single day, or work with some of the
nation’s top designers, or design and build a show garden at
Hampton Court for the Royal Horticultural Society, then you
obviously have what it takes to be a success not just at
Shuttleworth College but in the industry as a whole. Whether you
want to be a gardener, a greenkeeper, a landscape architect or a
horticultural scientist, our vibrant mix of practical learning,
lectures, demonstrations and visits will prepare you for the
demands and rewards of this fast-growing, creative industry.
Maybe you think that you
might be more suited to arboriculture and urban forestry – this
industry, defined as the art, science, technology and business of
tree care, is vital for the improvement of our towns and cities.
Perhaps you love the idea of being the person that transforms the
harsh concrete of your town centre and adds colour, form and
texture for the benefit of both the environment and the people that
live in the area.
These industries are
currently experiencing an acute shortage of trained participants in
almost all areas, so gain one of the qualifications on offer here
at Shuttleworth and you will be well on your way to a wealth of
employment opportunities.
