Build a strong foundation in plant science with this RHS Certificate in Principles of Plant Growth and Development, designed for adults looking to develop their understanding of how plants grow, function and respond to their environment.
This course is ideal if you are new to horticulture or looking to formalise your existing knowledge, helping you gain confidence in the scientific principles that underpin plant growth and development.
You will explore how plants develop and adapt, linking theory to practical understanding of how they are used and managed within horticulture and wider environmental settings.
Learning is supported with practical activities at our Spring Lane Campus, where you will have access to specialist greenhouse facilities that help bring plant science to life.
