The Horticulture with Plantsmanship course is delivered jointly by SRUC and The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) and allows you to specialise in the area of horticulture known as ‘plantsmanship’, which can be defined as a ‘knowledge of the diversity of plants and their cultivation’.
Delivered jointly by SRUC and The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE), this course is strongly focused on ‘plantsmanship’ — the area of horticulture that covers knowledge of the diversity of plants and their cultivation. It also provides a good understanding of other aspects of horticulture and plant science, integrating the management of plant collections with knowledge of plant distribution, classification, diversity, structure, identification, recognition and cultivation.
