On the Horticulture pathway you will initially take part in taught sessions in Horticulture to enhance and develop your skills and understanding of this vocational area.
The core skills you will learn on the horticulture pathway include plant production, customer skills and employability skills. This learning takes place in our Walled Garden, Garden Centre and Garden Centre Courtyard. You will also have the opportunity to get involved in projects such as Britain in Bloom, which Oswestry is hoping to win in 2018.
As your horticulture skills continue to develop you will be able to undertake internal work experience placements which give you the opportunity to experience work in a familiar environment before you move on to an external placement. We have strong links with local businesses and are able to offer external work experience placements which will boost your confidence in work and social situations.
We currently offer work experience placements with:
Ty Mawr Country Park
Dolywern
BrynGwyn Hall
Derwen@Walford
