Testimonial

‘I absolutely loved taking the RHS level 2 theory course at Bristol Botanic Gardens. It was so well organised with clear communication throughout. I really enjoyed the lessons and looked forward to attending each week – the learning will be useful for my own gardening and the qualification is helping me to move into a career in horticulture. I also found the course really helpful for networking with fellow gardeners and sharing knowledge and opportunities with each other. Having the course based at the gardens in such a lovely setting was a nice bonus too. I’d highly recommend it for anyone considering a career in horticulture.’
