RHS award winning John Horsey MA runs private courses in Axminster, Devon. The courses allow more time for learning and avoid the stress of examinations and assignments. This is the basis of the Diploma in Horticulture as well as the Certificate in Garden History.
Our Diploma in Horticulture and Garden History courses are designed to give you a detailed and working knowledge without the stress of examinations, assessments or assignments. The emphasis is very much on conservation, sustainability and ecology within the environment.
The courses take place in the purpose-built meeting room at Burrow Farm Gardens at Dalwood, near Axminster on the Devonshire/Somerset county boundaries. The very extensive gardens themselves, have been created over the last 50 years with a range of different styles.
Our courses are designed to give you a detailed and working knowledge of horticulture, garden design and garden history but without the stress of examinations, assessments or assignments. The emphasis is very much on conservation, sustainability and ecology within the environment. The courses run for one day a week throughout the school academic year.
Enjoy time spent with new, like minded friends in an idyllic setting on the Somerset/ Devon border.
This September we are offering the Certificate in Garden History and the Diploma in Horticulture will start again in 2019, but there is always an option to join in with existing groups.
Students who complete the courses with suitable attendance and application are awarded the appropriate certificates.
