Green Skills Programme

RHS Garden Rosemoor New Shoots Greener Skills Programme

The Green Skills Programme at RHS Garden Rosemoor is launching from Saturday 31 January 2026* and will take place on the below dates (all Saturdays) for the following 11 months between 10:00 and 13:30:

- 28 February, 21 March, 25 April, 30 May, 27 June, 25 July, 22 August, 26 September, 24 October, 28 November and 19 December 2026

The Green Skills Programme is designed for those who have not completed a formal horticultural qualification and is a careers exploration programme that contains an element of entry-level horticultural skills development. The skills that will be discussed each month will relate to a different range of career possibilities within the horticultural industry. 

Each session will include a mixture of tours, discussions, workshops and practical activity. All sessions will be based outdoors. Attendees will be provided with free tea and coffee, however you will need to bring your own lunch if required. 

If you feel transport to RHS Garden Rosemoor would be a barrier to your participation in the programme, please contact the New Shoots team to discuss how we may be able to support. 

Applications are now open and successful candidates will be informed whether they have been offered a place on this cohort by 25 January 2026.
