If your garden is where the weekend goes, this course takes it further. You cover soil, propagation, pests, greenhouses and growing at scale. It is built for people who love growing things.
Guesswork gets expensive in a garden. Botany, soil science and plant health turn instinct into method.
Crop production, greenhouses and post-harvest handling are all here. That is the difference between a hobby and a nursery.
You get 12 months of access, around the clock. Study on wet days and get back outside on dry ones.
Nurseries, councils, community gardens and growers all need people who understand plants. The work runs outdoors and hands-on, with early starts and seasons that set the pace.
Help run a production nursery. Propagation and plant health knowledge carry the role.
Support green programs for a council or group. Sustainable practice is the base.
Run community garden projects and teach growing. Explaining simply matters.
Advise customers on what to plant and why. Plant knowledge sells better than a label.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience.
Three certificates, from garden basics through to horticulture science.
Three things that go beyond the backyard.
