You can be a Horticulturalist!

Making the Most of your Garden is a unique course because it concentrates on you and your garden.

What's more, it's based on the seasons, just like your garden. So it fits your garden's rhythm.

Each month, we look at what's happening in your garden. We reveal how you can bring out the best in it. And we cover all aspects of the garden from design to pruning.

Then we help you put what you learn into practice in your own garden.

Your own gardening advisor

Unlike ordinary books and magazines, the course is 'interactive', and is based on your garden, not other people's.

You'll be aided by your own personal advisor, who will answer your questions. Your advisor will suggest how to improve your garden, and how to enjoy it to the full.

The easy way to learn

If you enjoy gardening, the course will help you get the most from it.

It doesn't matter whether you have a small town garden or a large space in the country. All gardens present their own challenges. And all are just as satisfying.

With our help, you'll have the confidence to embark upon new projects. Perhaps you haven't tried tackling soft fruit, or a rock garden? Possibly you'd like to try greenhouse cultivation, or producing plants from cuttings? By enrolling on the course, all these things are possible.

  2. Or have you had a garden for some time, but just never got around to doing much with it
  3. Or have you made your mind up to learn more about gardening?

We look forward to helping you succeed.

With best wishes
