SERC Host Horticulture Webinar for Potential Gardeners

There can be no doubt how much green space and gardens have been valued this past year,  with an estimated 3 million more gardeners created during the 2020 lockdowns (Horticultural Trades Association).  It seems our appetite for gardening is set to continue and SERC is keen to welcome potential green-fingered students to a special Horticulture webinar at 3pm on Wednesday 26 May to showcase what is on offer at the College.

Claire Dunwoody, Horticulture Lecturer at SERC said, “We have been offering horticulture courses at the College for a number of years and have developed a comprehensive programme  for everyone, from the beginner through to more experienced gardeners. The learning never stops in gardening;  whether you garden for the sheer pleasure, want to grow your own vegetables, design your garden to suit your lifestyle or want to develop your skills and knowledge for a career in the horticulture sector, there really is something for everyone at SERC."

She added, “The webinar will be hosted by our horticulture lecturing team and they will answer any questions and take participants through our programmes from the RHS L2 Certificate in Horticulture to OCN L2 Awards in Garden Design, Organic Fruit & Vegetable Growing, and Floral Design, also offered at Level 3. In addition, we offer OCN programmes in Autumn/Winter Gardening & Spring/Summer Gardening and a range of leisure courses including Gardening, Organic Fruit & Vegetable Growing and Floral Art. We will also introduce our new Online Leisure Gardener, which as the name suggests is delivered 100% online.”

Claire concluded, “The wonderful thing about gardening is that everyone can get involved, whether you live in an apartment and have a window box or a few containers, an average family garden or something larger and more mature, or access to a local allotment, getting outside and growing gives great satisfaction.”
