Course overview
As a horticulture and landscape supervisor, you could be overseeing work in public parks and gardens, green spaces and historic gardens, private gardens and estates or in production nurseries and retail outlets. Many businesses will be specialised in their activities, such as grounds maintenance (soft-landscape) or landscape construction (hard-landscape). Your employment area will dictate which option you’ll pursue in this apprenticeship: the horticulture option focuses on plant propagation and growth, while landscape construction focuses on the installation of features and structures. Home to a vast array of natural and manmade resources, Lackham’s 500 acre estate is the perfect place to study horticulture and landscape construction. From woodlands and wetlands to manicured lawns and sports pitches, including a Walled Garden with tropical and cold greenhouses, Lackham’s industry-leading resources are unparalleled, giving you the opportunity to pursue your passion, transforming skills and knowledge into a fulfilling career.
