We offer a unique chance to upgrade your skills through practical horticultural experience in historic and botanic gardens throughout the UK. HBGBS trainees will work to a structured training plan and receive on-site training and mentoring throughout their 12 month placement.

On completion of the placement the trainee's horticultural diary, research projects and plant identification tests provide a portfolio of evidence of practical skills and experience that contribute towards future career development. Trainees will also undertake 4 National Occupation Standard units (Level 3) (see www.Lantra.co.uk).
