The National Trust has announced plans to step-up its commitment to heritage horticulture with the launch of its new Heritage Gardening Programme.
The programme will for the first time offer comprehensive training for all of the conservation charity’s gardening roles.From volunteer gardeners and trainees to garden managers, it will put in place a formal training structure to provide development opportunities within the organisation.
Training will largely be internally-led through practical courses, structured training completed in the workplace and e-learning platforms.
To complement the training, internal bursaries will be made available to allow gardeners to travel to other properties, when needed, in order to acquire new skills.
