4 1. Introduction to the course The RHS Level 2 Certificate in the Principles of Horticulture replaced the RHS Level 2 Certificate in Horticulture in September The course delivers a broad-based understanding of horticultural techniques and plant biology. It provides students with a qualification that is recognised internationally by the horticulture industry. This broad base makes it the ideal starting point or first qualification for those wishing to pursue a career in any branch of horticulture or garden design. It is also perfect for leisure gardeners who would like to expand their horticultural knowledge, and to have it formally assessed. The award of the Certificate is based on written examinations that are externally set and marked by the RHS. The certificate is accredited by Ofqual (The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation) in England and Wales. On completion of the course, students can opt to take their studies further by joining the RBGE s Higher National Certificate or Diploma in Horticulture with Plantsmanship. 2. Entry requirements The RHS Level 2 Certificate does not require any prior qualifications or experience. All you need is an interest in the subject and a willingness to set aside a few hours a week for study. Overall we are looking for keen, enthusiastic plants people of all ages, who would value the opportunity to study at RBGE and will contribute to the programme. Where there is competition for places we will accept those we feel would most benefit from attending the course. We also offer a distance learning course option for those who cannot attend the RBGE regularly. 3. Course duration & course dates The RHS Level 2 Certificate in the Principles of Horticulture is a one-year part-time course. It is possible to study for the external exams in three different ways with RBGE: 1) Day classes on a Wednesday from 10am until 12.30pm (40 weeks). 2) Evening classes on a Wednesday from 6.30pm until 9pm (40 weeks). 3) Distance learning option learning at your own pace (see page 14). The Wednesday day and evening classes broadly follow the academic year. This year the course dates are: Term 1: Wednesdays 17 th August - 14 th December 2011 Term 2: Wednesdays 11 th January 28 th March 2012 Term 3: Wednesdays 11 th April 27 th June 2012 Half term holiday dates - to be confirmed The morning and evening sessions run in parallel. Full course timetables will be given to students on the first session of the course. Greg Kenicer (March 2011) 4

5 4. Course structure and content The RHS Level 2 course is aimed towards the examinations set by the RHS, so the content is predominantly theory. We provide you with a complete set of information and learning support to help you pass the exams. For the taught course, each of the sessions is typically a well illustrated lecture followed by a 30 minute coffee break where you have a chance to meet your fellow students, discuss all things horticultural and make fast friends. The lectures are supported by a complete series of notes. The second half of most sessions is an hour-long mini-workshop, garden walkround, discussion forum or quiz. These sessions all support the theory lectures, building on the core knowledge and skills you need. They are also an ideal opportunity to broaden your experience of horticulture and learn new skills. Course tutors are RBGE staff and other experienced horticulturists and botanists. The course is broken down into two separate certificates that are designed to stand alone. When combined, they make up the RHS Level 2 Certificate in the Principles of Horticulture. Principles of Plant Growth, Propagation and Development Study Hours* 1. Plant classification, structure and function Plant nutrition and the root environment Maintaining plant health Understanding plant propagation 30 Principles of Garden Planning, Establishment and Maintenance Study Hours* 5. Understanding garden features, plant selection and planning Understanding the choice, establishment and maintenance of gardens plants and 30 lawns 7. Understanding the production of outdoor vegetables and fruit Understanding protected environments and their use in plant cultivation 30 If you take the taught course, you can expect do around 4½ hours per week self- study, which can be homework set by tutors or your own research and revision. Spending time working on your own or other gardens is a great way to revise your knowledge (as long as you think about what you're doing!). Greg Kenicer (March 2011) 5

6 Principles of Plant Growth, Propagation and Development A certificate focusing on many of the processes that go on 'behind the scenes' in a plant. These are the fundamentals that help everything else make sense in plants when you are working with them in the garden. Unit 1: Plant classification, structure and function This unit provides a solid grounding in basic botany. Considerable time is devoted to understanding the structures and processes that allow plants to survive from the cellular level right through to the myriad variety of leaves, flowers and fruits that make horticultural plants so interesting. Whilst there is a considerable amount of technical botanical information in this unit, it is geared towards real-life situations, making it easy to understand and apply in gardening and wider horticultural contexts. Unit 2: Plant nutrition and the root environment One of the keys to maintaining healthy plants is, of course, an understanding of plant nutrition. This unit works through plant nutrition from first principles. We cover soil structure and properties both mineral and organic, as well as looking at the fauna and microflora that the soil harbours and the ways in which these organisms interact with each other, the soil, and the plants growing there. Soil management is an important part of this unit, so we also look at how to use the right compost, fertilizer or mulch for the job. Unit 3: Maintaining plant health This unit discusses weeds, pests and diseases and their control. As well as this, we cover plant physiological problems such as the effects of nutrient deficiencies, drought, overwatering and excessive sun and shade. Unit 4: Understanding plant propagation Successful, safe propagation is one of the fundamental skills for the horticulturist and gardener. This unit covers propagation, both from seed and using vegetative methods. We discuss the relative merits and disadvantages of each type of propagation and which is the most appropriate for each plant or group of plants. Vegetative propagation includes learning about techniques such as cuttings, layering and grafting, as well as care and safe use of the tools and equipment needed to do the job. Greg Kenicer (March 2011) 6

7 Principles of Garden Planning, Establishment and Maintenance A certificate focused on gardens and the huge diversity of plants and other materials available to the gardener. Emphasis is placed on the selection and maintenance of plants, with a great deal of information from the first certificate feeding in to support this one. Unit 5: Understanding garden features, plant selection and maintenance This unit is an introduction to the principles of garden design, from site analysis and identification of purpose and potential, through surveying, to putting together the actual designs. Garden styles, materials and the initial processes of bed layouts are discussed. Soft landscaping and the selection of plants is then introduced with an opportunity to learn about a huge range of horticulturally significant plants something for every situation. and this continues into the next unit. Unit 6: Understanding the choice, establishment and maintenance of garden plants and lawns Continuing on from the previous unit we look at how to select specimens for whatever job you have in mind. Everyone will be able to bring some of their own knowledge to this unit as we cover the following topics:- 1. Annuals and herbaceous perennials appropriate for bedding, borders and baskets. We also look at the different ways in which to organise these planting schemes for any garden situation. 2. Woody plants are a very large group, encompassing ornamental trees, shrubs, climbers, hedging plants and ground cover. 3. Lawns and turfing, including choice of plants, establishment of lawns, and annual care. 4. Alpine and rock garden plants and choosing and growing these specialised plants. 5. Planting and maintaining a garden pool. Unit 7: Understanding the production of outdoor vegetables and fruit Whether you are cultivating fruit, vegetables, or both, food crops are one of the most rewarding groups of plants to grow. This unit provides an overview of the most common food garden and smallholding plants grown in the UK and similar climates. Groups include tree, bush and cane fruits such as apples, currants and raspberries, soft fruits (e.g. strawberries) and a wide range of vegetables such as peas, brassicas, lettuces and carrots. Cultivation strategies and timing, as well as pest control are important elements of this unit. We also discuss the broader theory behind site selection, crop rotation, making beds and soil cultivation. Unit 8: Understanding protected environments and their use in plant cultivation Protected cultivation covers a diverse range of techniques used to cultivate plants in a protected environment. This unit covers the whole spectrum, from simple container grown plants through to cultivation of plants in glasshouses, conservatories and indoors. We look at the ways in which these forms of protected cultivation differ from each other and from the outdoor environment. Greg Kenicer (March 2011) 7

8 5. Examinations Each unit will be assessed by a separate written examination covering all learning outcomes specified in that unit. The examinations will be offered twice a year, in February and June. Taught Course Fees for sitting each unit once only at RBGE are included in the course fees. To re-sit any unit or if you were absent, you will need to pay the RHS registration fee to take that unit at a later sitting. Distance Learning You can register to take the exams at RBGE or at your nearest examination centre. You will need to pay the RHS registration fee, but as an internal student, you will not need to pay the RBGE administration fee if you take the exams here in Edinburgh. Examination Dates and Registration Fees These have not yet been published by the RHS for February and June We will inform all our students as soon as possible of the exact dates and fees and send out exam registration forms in good time before registration deadlines prices ranged from per unit. If you register and then later decide you would like to defer your exam until a later sitting you must inform RBGE more than 6 weeks before the exam. If you inform us later than this then the RHS cannot defer you, you will lose your fee and will have to pay to re-register for that exam. If you are absent on the day of the exam, you lose your fee and will have to pay to re-register for that exam. If you have any physical or written access requirements (e.g. if you have dyslexia or English is not your first language) please contact RBGE when you register for your exam. In addition, it is very helpful if you can include a doctor's note or similar information with your exam registration form. Sitting exams in the future You will remain an internal RBGE candidate for two years after taking the course with us.

9 6. Education at RBGE The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh has always been an institution devoted to learning in all its forms. It began life as a physick garden, in which Edinburgh s aspiring doctors could learn about the cures they would encounter during their work. Needless to say, a lot has changed since, but the mission of RBGE remains much the same To explore and explain the world of plants. The education department helps explain the world of plants to everybody from nursery school children through to adult learners of all ages. We offer diverse and varied schools programmes, and a huge range of further and continuing education courses including HND, MSc and the RHS level 2 Certificate course. Our focus on horticulture and botanical education allows us to devote the expertise of our staff to supporting students through their studies. No matter what they are coming here to learn, students always find RBGE a friendly and welcoming place. We also have the benefit of excellent living collections and a newly developed teaching nursery. RBGE has three Regional Gardens in addition to the Garden at Edinburgh. All of them are equally committed to public outreach and education: Benmore Botanic Garden in Scotland s temperate west coast rainforest; exotic Logan Botanic Garden, basking in the Gulf Stream and Dawyck Botanic Garden, nestled in the cool dry climate of the Border hills. 7.
