If you would like to learn more about gardening, and perhaps achieve qualifications in this area - even pursue a new career - but just don’t have the time for college, a distance learning course from Learning Curve may be the answer. Learning Curve is one of the UK's leading distance learning providers and accredited by the ODLQC.
The Garden School at Learning Curve offers a range of home study courses to meet your individual needs.

It covers a whole range of foundation subjects, from soil improvement to plant cultivation and greenhouse gardening. Our popular RHS Horticulture Level 2 certificate course is designed for students who are taking their first steps in a professional career, as well as keen amateurs. The RHS Level 3 course is for students who already have some training and experience and would like to take the next step. While our advanced Garden Design course is an ideal starting point for students hoping to work professionally in this area.
Our more specialised courses, Organic Gardening and Wildlife Gardening, are designed for students who would like to explore a particular area in depth. We also offer a range of short courses, for students who don’t have the time to commit to a full course. These courses are four modules long and can be completed in two to three months. They explore one area of gardening in depth – from Creating a Kitchen Garden to Lawn Care. Each course includes all study material, full tutorial support and course books.
