Train to Become an Environmental Gardener in Central London
Start a sustainable career with our accredited courses
Free for local people
Accredited by City & Guilds, and available up to Diploma level, our part-time Environmental Gardening courses are a great starting point for a career in the industry. Delivering these recognised qualifications with an environmental edge, we support students into work across the industry, from landscaping and maintenance, to community gardening and environmental work. You’ll join us at our award-winning, biodiverse site to dig into the practicals of environmental gardening to begin your journey.
Why Walworth Garden?
As a Walworth Garden student, you will join us in being custodians of our own site, and the sites we manage for others. Your hands-on work will be completed amongst an exciting range of botanical species across our garden and greenhouses. We lead a ‘beyond organic’, environment-first approach to everything we do, including this course. Unlike other accredited training, you will learn how to maintain plants and gardens whilst improving biodiversity and supporting wildlife with us, where you will discover the ‘whys’ as well as the ‘hows.’ You will be welcomed to the Walworth Garden community by our small, dedicated team.
