Why a Gardener/Horticulturist Apprenticeship?
Working in a team at Botanic Horticulture you will work outdoors, completing a self-paced apprenticeship usually over a 2 year period. You will learn skills such as identifying and pruning plants, hedging, topiary, treating pests and diseases, turf management, operating horticultural machinery, and maintaining irrigation systems.
Last year, Botanic Horticulture was thrilled when one of our apprentices won Apprentice of the Year for Horticulture in the Landscaping Victoria Master Landscapers Awards. Botanic nominated Koreigh for the outstanding work she performs and the potential she shows by her motivation, diligence and innate passion for horticulture.
