Two year heritage horticulture training opportunity
We are proud to be a host garden for the Historic and Botanic Garden Training Programme for a second two year placement starting in September 2016.
Aberglasney joined the scheme last year, with the first placement being taken up by Jeanette Dunk (pictured above) in September 2015.
Jeanette said: "The programme is a fantastic opportunity to gain experience in an historic garden. The diversity of plants and garden styles at Aberglasney makes training here interesting and varied. There is always a new challenge and I'm sure I'll finish my placement with a great all-round knowledge. It is a small and friendly gardening team at Aberglasney, so I get a lot of good quality supervision".
Applications for 2016 placements are being accepted now and the closing date is 24th March. Applications must be made through the scheme's website atwww.hbgtp.org.uk where further information can also be found.
