Green means go!
Have you got green thumbs? Wish you did? One day a week is all it takes to study horticulture at NMIT.
Sow the seeds for a career in horticulture through hands-on learning and classes that teach pragmatic and valuable skills.
Jenny North, horticulture tutor at the NMIT Richmond Campus, says the Level 3 Certificate in Horticulture (General) is flexible for those who can’t commit to full-time study.
“You receive a really good understanding of the foundations of Hort Science and have a year to do it in, so you can more easily fit it around work,” she says.
The programme gives a solid education in plant and soil science, plant health, and focuses on a range of practical horticultural tasks such as indoor and outdoor production, amenity horticulture and nursery.
“We also take learners on field trips to a range of horticulture enterprises in the area, which are really popular,” Jenny says.
The quarterly plant sale event is a hit within the Nelson/Tasman community and gives students the experience of working at a market.
"We raise close to $15,000 each year through these four plant sales” Jenny says.
“Our learners really enjoy the community spirit we foster here and our links to industry partners. It’s a great way to make connections whilst gaining experience for a career.”
