Course programme

The three-part gardening programme at Fircroft is an introduction to the skills and knowledge needed for gardening horticulture. It covers basic plant identification, propagation, plant care and pest control.

The programme provides an opportunity for people to develop their self-confidence and personal development, as well as acting as an impetus for further study and possible employment in a related area.

Fircroft College has six acres of beautiful gardens and the College’s kitchen garden has been renovated to provide the perfect setting for this programme.

The different sections of the programme run on different days. Please check the dates that correspond to the part of the programme you wish to participate in.

Gardening Part One - Developing Gardening Skills (12-14 April)
Gardening Part Two - Increasing/Propagating your Plants (26-28 April AND 17-19 May)
