No matter what time of year it is, it's always a great time to work on your garden.

There's something that you'll want to change to make it just perfect for the coming year.

And our home-study course makes it so easy to do just that.

On the home-study Diploma in Horticulture you'll learn everything about gardening. From lawns to fruit, and from vegetables to pest control.

And you don't even have to move from your home: the course comes to you. We supply everything you need, including study text and book.

The course has a second function: it enables you to sit the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society's exam, Level 2 Certificate in the Principles of Horticulture. This is the world's oldest and most respected qualification in horticulture. This is a nationally recognised qualification demonstrating that you have been formally assessed in:

1. The principles of plant growth, propagation and development

2. The principles of garden planning, establishment and maintenance

You will also be able to understand more about plant propagation, communicate about horticultural practices in the UK, and enjoy studying one of the most fascinating areas of study.

The Principles of Horticulture Level 2 is a recognised and prestigious qualification awarded to students who achieve a consistently high standard and who demonstrate a sound knowledge of UK horticultural practices. It replaces firstly the RHS General Examination in Horticulture and more recently the RHS Level 2 Diploma in Horticulture.

So whether you want to work in horticulture, or you just want to gain the knowledge, our course will be ideal.
