When you study horticulture or floristry at our Kirkley Hall campus, you will have extensive grounds as your classroom.
Our gardens exceed four hectares and provide the perfect learning environment for horticulture students to gain hands on skills and experience.

The grounds include the National Fagus (Beech Tree) Collection, a Victorian walled garden, a large collection of unusual trees, shrubs, herbaceous and ornamental borders, many cultivars, woodland gardens and 1,330sqm of amenity and commercial greenhouses.

Our courses range from entry level to level 3 and cover areas such as plant propagation, landscaping, turf establishment and garden design. This year we have launched a brand new floristry course, which can be studied full or part time. We also offer an Apprenticeship and Advanced Apprenticeship in Horticulture.
Career opportunities in horticulture include landscaping, garden design and groundskeeping, and your training at Kirkley Hall will help you develop in your chosen discipline.
