Happy harvest in horticulture skills

Shuttleworth College has been harvesting the best outcomes among apprentices in the field of horticulture.

National statistics show that based on 2021/22 apprenticeship numbers, the Old Warden-based Horticulture course came third in the UK against 36 other colleges. Each year, Shuttleworth College home-grows more than 20 apprentices who go on to become landscapers, home gardeners, council and corporate maintenance staff.

One, Immy Moore, works on the beautiful Shuttleworth Estate, another at Luton Hoo, and more for a range of contractors.
