The survey will close on Friday 26th September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The course aims to provide attendees with both practical skills and experience, as well as an understanding of the science and theory behind modern horticulture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The course would be suited to someone with a keen interest in gardening looking to acquire advanced skills and knowledge. It would also suit anyone looking for a career in horticulture or with links to horticulture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drawing on the skills and know-how of the Grounds team who are responsible for the University of Exeter Botanic Garden, the course will offer hands-on experience of working in a garden setting. Our initial thought for this course is that it would run from March until October, to allow participants to acquire seasons-specific skills as well as general horticultural practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A course blending practical know-how and experience with a theoretical understanding of the practice of modern horticulture<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We would be very grateful if you could please complete <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.office.com\/pages\/responsepage.aspx?id=d10qkZj77k6vMhM02PBKUxoa5N1nmR5Ho9cLbZrDZMlUNlNDVDJJSlVVS0wzN0s5NFZCN1BHMklWRy4u&amp;route=shorturl\">this survey<\/a> to help us understand course interest and preferences.
