Fircroft College
Gardening Programme
The gardening programme at Fircroft is an introduction to the skills and knowledge needed for gardening horticulture. It covers basic plant identification, propagation, plant care and pest control.
These three courses at Entry 3/Level 1 offer an opportunity for people to develop their self-confidence and personal development, as well as acting as an impetus for further study and possible employment in a related area.
Fircroft College has six acres of beautiful gardens and the College’s kitchen garden has been renovated to provide the perfect setting for this programme.
How much does it cost?
These courses are FREE of charge if you are claiming means-tested benefits, otherwise they are just £40 per person (including all accommodation, meals, tuition and learning resources).
