Training and internships

Looking for your first experience with the Trust? We offer a range of ways you can develop your career.

The School of Heritage Gardening

The Trust’s School of Heritage Gardening has been training generations of gardeners since 1960. Students learn the art, craft and science of horticulture – from pruning, grafting and glasshouse cultivation, to plant identification and the use of gardening machinery and tools.

At Threave Garden, in Dumfries & Galloway, our trainees learn how to be professional gardeners and can acquire nationally recognised qualifications in the process. They learn how to manage different types of gardens, ranging in style and using varied plant content.
