About the apprenticeship
Are you interested in plants, gardening or horticulture, but new to the industry?
We are delighted to be able to offer horticultural apprenticeships at each of our five RHS Gardens: Hyde Hall, Rosemoor, Bridgewater, Harlow Carr and Wisley .
This apprenticeship will enable you to learn about the science, art and practice of horticulture in the setting of an RHS Garden, and in doing so, work within its departments and with its teams and individuals to gain knowledge, skills, training and experiences in and of horticulture (in terms of study and the work-based context).
You will work alongside our knowledgeable, skilled and experienced staff in an RHS Garden, alongside studying at college to develop, enhance and deepen your understanding of horticulture.
Throughout the apprenticeship, you will establish, cultivate and maintain formal and informal garden areas, learn how to be environmentally aware, and use tools, techniques and machinery that will equip you for professional life in the industry!
This is a combined programme of academic and work-based training, which means that you would have responsiilities as a college apprentice and RHS employee.
The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) is committed to being an inclusive employer and welcomes applicants from ethnically diverse backgrounds.
