I knew I liked working outside and being hands-on but until I did this course, I didn't have the confidence to give horticulture a go. The tutors made learning easy and the skills they taught me have set me up for a better future. I can see that if you work hard and have a positive attitude, there are a lot of opportunities to get ahead and do well in this industry.
