Are you passionate about gardening? Do you crave adventure? Can
you think on your feet to create dynamic solutions to complex
problems? If that sounds like you, then our horticulture courses
will give you the opportunity to make your aspirations into a
serious career.
If you think, like some of
our past students, you could be part of a team of four that could
build a garden in a single day, or work with some of the nation’s
top designers, or design and build a show garden at Hampton
Court for the Royal Horticultural Society, then you obviously have
what it takes to be a success not just at Shuttleworth College but
in the industry as a whole. Whether you want to be a gardener, a
green keeper, a landscape architect or a horticultural scientist,
our vibrant mix of practical learning, lectures, demonstrations and
visits will prepare you for the demands and rewards of this
fast-growing, creative industry.
Maybe you think that you
might be more suited to arboriculture – this industry, defined as
the art, science, technology and business of tree care, is vital
for the improvement of our towns and cities. Perhaps you love the
idea of being the person that transforms the harsh concrete of your
town centre and adds colour, form and texture for the benefit of
both the environment and the people that live in the area.
These industries are
currently experiencing an acute shortage of trained participants in
almost all areas, so gain one of the qualifications on offer here
at Shuttleworth and you will be well on your way to a wealth of
employment opportunities.
