Other Gardening Clubs, Lectures, or Horticultural pow-wows we like in Northumberland:

Northumberland College. When you study horticulture or floristry at our Kirkley Hall campus, you will have extensive grounds as your classroom. Our gardens exceed four hectares and provide the perfect learning environment for horticulture students to gain hands on skills and experience. The grounds include the National Fagus (Beech Tree) Collection, a Victorian walled garden, a large collection of unusual trees, shrubs, herbaceous and ornamental borders, many cultivars, woodland gardens and 1,330sqm of amenity and commercial greenhouses. Our courses range from entry level to level 3 and cover areas such as plant propagation, landscaping, turf establishment and garden design. We recently launched a new floristry course, which can be studied full or part time. We have a brand new dedicated garden studio with high specification computers and the latest CAD design software where our budding landscape gardeners can get the very best in design practice. Career opportunities in horticulture include landscaping, garden design and groundskeeping, and your training at Kirkley Hall will help you develop in your chosen discipline.
