Do you enjoy being outdoors and have an interest in nature or greening the built environment? Horticulture is not just about gardening! Learn both the practical skills and theory for the design, construction & maintenance of outdoor spaces.
I have always liked being outdoors and when I was at school I used to help out when I could, gardening for friends and family. I chose Shipley College because it is convenient to get to and it offered me the apprenticeship course I was looking for. The staff are really helpful and friendly and I have made some good friends on my course. For my apprenticeship, I work at Shipley Golf Club and I am learning lots about horticulture and in particular, golf greenkeeping.
