One of the Most Valued Skills in Horticulture
Leading horticulturists across the world will tell you that a lack of plant knowledge is one of the biggest problems in the industry today. Plant nurseries and garden centres often deal with well over a thousand different varieties of plants, but finding staff who know how to identify, propagate and care for such a range of species is a constant challenge. Home gardens and parks in many countries may contain tens of thousands of different cultivars, but outside of the odd (usually older) plantsman; there are few in the industry who can come anywhere near to properly understanding the broad range of plants they are likely to encounter.
If you do this course; you will be joining an elite and rare group of horticulturists. This is a course with potential to make a real difference to your career or business.
