Shuttleworth College Horticulture Technician Ross

Overview

Horticultural Investigation RHS Level 3 Award

The horticultural industries are broad based and diverse, ranging from vegetable production to the production of trees and the development of urban green spaces to safe guard and enhance mental health through to the management of heritage assets. While the horticultural industries may be diverse, those who are engaged within them are united in ensuring that decisions are made based on facts, using trusted information sources and operations are informed by best practice, protocols and knowledge information is shared within communities.

This qualification gives learners the chance to investigate in depth fields that may only be touched basically by the Level 3 Certificate in Practical Horticulture and/or the Level 3 Certificate in Garden and Designed Landscape Management- The award completes therefore the Level 3 diploma.
