Following a successful first year, horticultural education and training experts, The BEST in Horticulture Group will be running their Certificate in Organic Horticulture again, starting this autumn.

The course, endorsed by Garden Organic, is the perfect solution for people to get a detailed understanding of all elements of organic horticulture and is suitable for professional and hobby gardeners alike.

The course was a considered blend of classroom and practical activities, delivered at Ryton in Judith’s informal and engaging style. I found it tremendously helpful for building a broad foundation in organic growing principles, and I enjoyed the recurrent themes of mindful resource use and provision of habitat for wildlife. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the course, whether for personal interest or professional development.
