Napier University Lifelong Learning

Distance Learning Course

horticulture 1

Napier University and Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh have collaborated to develop a course which will give the amateur and professional gardener a sound foundation in horticulture. It covers a wide range of topics and has been designed as a preparatory course of study for the Royal Horticultural Society General Horticulture Certificate, which has been recognised for over 100 years as an excellent foundation qualification in horticulture.

This distance learning course, begun in Spring 2001, is about to go into its 3rd year, and work is currently in hand to update materials for the course planned to be available from Spring 2003 through to Spring 2004. Optional workshops will be held at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh - these have been highly thought of, with much benefit felt by both the students and the tutors .

Students will be provided with an extensive and easy to use set of course materials compiled by RBG Edinburgh and Napier University. Each student will be assigned a personal tutor. Tutor support is provided throughout the course by means of telephone, e-mail, or post, depending upon your preference - e-mail has become the method of choice for many of the students, and the tutors are well equipped to offer support that way if that is your choice.
