RHS courses at Castlebank Horticultural Centre in Lanark
Hello there,
Melissa Reilly here from Castlebank Horticultural Centre. I’m getting in touch to ask if you could share information regarding the new RHS course available at Castlebank with members of the Scottish Rock Garden Club.
As of autumn 2019, newly approved RHS centre - Castlebank Horticultural Centre in Lanark - will be offering the ‘RHS Level 2 Certificate in the Principles of Horticulture’. This qualification is designed for individuals wanting a route to employment in professional horticulture or further development. The theory-based qualification helps learners by assessing their knowledge of the principles which underpin horticultural practices. The qualification is comprised of two certificates:
• RHS Level 2 Certificate in the Principles of Garden Planning, Establishment and Maintenance
• RHS Level 2 Certificate in the Principles of Plant Growth, Health and Applied Propagation
The qualification will be delivered at Castlebank Horticultural Centre, which is located within the historic Castlebank Park in Lanark. The Horticultural Centre features a recently renovated Community Hub building and a community growing area with multiple raised beds and polytunnels. Students will have the chance to enhance their theoretical learning by viewing practical demonstrations or undertaking practical activities within the Horticultural Centre or wider area of Castlebank Park. The course will run from September 2019 to June 2020, with exams in February and June 2020.
I attached a Course Handbook which contains lots more information about the course content and prices/dates. To apply for the course, applications should complete the attached form and return by Thursday 22nd August.
We are also offering one fully-funded place on the course to a young person – attached is also the application form for this bursary.
Many thanks,
Melissa"
