Course description:

Launched in 2016, Future Gardeners is an innovative training and work experience scheme, giving participants the core skills to gain entry level jobs in the horticulture industry without having any previous experience or specialist education.

Open to all who want to try out a career in gardening, Future Gardeners is an educational scheme that doesn’t require entrants to have minimum educational qualifications.

As well as pre-apprenticeship training and a City & Guilds qualification, the budding horticulturists will have their career options enhanced by being introduced to key employers in the sector, including some at London’s finest parks and gardens.

76% of Future Gardeners who completed the course are now working in the horticultural industry.
