Our horticulture and permaculture courses are ideal for people who love gardening and the outdoors, are considering a career in horticulture, or who would like an introduction to aspects of working in the industry before choosing a specific pathway.
Working as a team with fellow participants, in an operational farm and production nursery, you will gain a broad overview and practical, hands-on experience.
You will spend time outdoors (getting your hands dirty!) under the leadership of an experienced trainer and horticulturalist, along with time in the classroom learning basic theory and exploring study pathways.
Dates for 2026 are not yet confirmed.
