"GreenHeart Practical Gardener" course offers practical knowledge and experience

Capel Manor is a college of Horticulture, Garden Design, Arboriculture and Floristry in Gunnersbury Park, W3.

On Tuesday 27th January we are starting a new course for avid amateurs and keen professional gardeners offering practical knowledge and hands on experience.

Called the “GreenHeart Practical Gardener”, the course runs one day per week every Tuesday from 9.00 am till 4.00 pm plus a series of Saturdays for 5 hours.

Course content includes:

. Selection, establishment, care and maintenance of trees, shrubs and roses
. Herbaceous and annual plants, care and maintenance
. Selection, establishment, care and maintenance of the lawn
. Propagating plants, vegetatively and from seeds.

At the end of the course everyone will be awarded a City & Guilds Certificate in Horticultural Skills.

Completion of this short programme at the college means students can progress onto another Gardening or Garden Design programme.
