Sustainability and the transition to net zero are agreed cross-cutting themes of the West Yorkshire LSIP, showing a commitment in the region to a sustainable future and green jobs.  

As one of the few Horticultural education providers in Yorkshire, we are proud to offer a wide range of qualifications in our purpose-built greenhouses and local community allotments. 

Our friendly tutors have a wealth of industry experience for you to learn from, with most still working on their own green businesses outside of the classroom, so if you are looking to make a career from your passion, we can help!

Our courses have been designed in a way that means you could study multiple courses at the same time, and fast-track your way to a new green adventure.
