This is partly because of course it would be a co-incidence if the world’s greatest horticulturalists were all located in one concentrated area. Wherever you are in Scotland, whether Dumfries and Galloway, the beautiful West coast benefitting from the Gulf stream, central Scotland or right up in the highlands, we have gardening courses that can benefit you at MyGardenSchool. That's because all our courses are virtual, and we bring the tutors to you, wherever you're located.
