Diploma Horticulture Edinburgh

This 3 year Diploma course was very much an old style apprenticeship in amenity horticulture. Though it is no longer run at the Garden, it produced some of Horticulture's finest people in it's existence since 1892. Students in the early days were not even permitted to be married! Experience in each of the four departments* of the Garden was gained as students moved round every 6 months / 1 year. |
One day a week was spent in the classroom being taught by in-house & external lecturers. The Royal Botanic Garden continues to educate in smaller courses. History
