Horticulture sustains and enriches our lives. It grows the foods we eat, improves the air we breathe, provides us with beautiful green spaces to enjoy, is essential for biodiversity and habitats and improves mental health and wellbeing (apart from the days when you find your lettuces covered in slugs!).

This collection of courses introduces you to a wide range of topics including propagation, cultivation, design and plant biology which will improve your gardening skill and understanding of how plants grow. It will also prepare you for further study in horticulture if you are interested in taking your learning further.

These courses were developed by the Horticulture department at UHI Argyll.
