Have you always had a desire to spend more time outdoors and learn about horticulture and gardening? Well now is your chance.
Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is offering a free 16 week Park Ranger Horticulture Training Programme, which will take place in Portadown People’s Park.
The workshops will include activities such as building raised beds, planting beds and hanging baskets, plant identification as well as maintaining lawns and sports grounds.
The course will also include accredited workshops in first aid, safeguarding and health and safety at work.
And the best thing? No experience is necessary! This project is a fantastic opportunity to develop skills, knowledge, and first-hand experience, which will give participants a deeper appreciation of their surroundings and show them how they can use and take care of the natural environment.
The programme will run every Friday from 10am to 2:30pm, starting on Friday 23 July with an introduction session on Friday 9 July at 10:00am. This project is open to anyone over the age of 18 years. There are limited spaces available and registration opens Friday 18 June.
