Which areas of the garden will you be working in: Kitchen Garden and Nursery
The Kitchen Garden at RHS Harlow Carr has inspired visitors for many years and has been shortlisted for the best vegetable garden of the year. The Kitchen Garden's organic flowing design sits at the heart of the site demonstrating to visitors all year-round fruit and vegetable growing which supplies our own Harrogate Arms café.
Throughout this placement you will work within the Edibles Team in the Kitchen Garden and Nursery to gain knowledge, skills and training in growing edible crops within the Kitchen Garden and in a work-based context to prepare you for professional life in horticulture.
As part of the team, you will learn about succession planning, sowing and planting while using a wide variety of growing techniques, along with maintenance tasks to produce commonly grown vegetables as well as more unusual varieties all year round. You will also gain experience in the glasshouse by helping to propagate plants, as well as with edible woody plants in the Garden. You will also gain a good understanding of plant health in accordance with 'Plant Healthy' certification.
About the RHS Level 3 Award:
During the placement you will complete horticultural research and writing culminating in achieving an RHS Level 3 Award in Horticultural Investigation (funded by the RHS). Candidates completing the Level 3 qualification will be allocated a Project Supervisor who will support you and advise on the project write up. In order to achieve the qualification you will be required to attend several online sessions (either live or recordings) over a period of 9 months, submit a project write up and complete a professional discussion.
Safeguarding and Inclusion:
The RHS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults at risk and expects all personnel to share in this commitment. We are an inclusive employer and welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
Benefits of Working for the RHS:
To work for the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) is to join a thriving charity, whose mission is to be there for everyone on their lifelong adventure with gardening. Everything we do is built on the transformational power of gardening - and the benefits it brings to people, places and our planet.
And we couldn't do this without our people. We're proud of the knowledge, enthusiasm and ideas that each one of our team members brings. From working across our social media channels, to volunteering in the RHS Gardens, from serving customers in our garden centres to running national marketing campaigns, we believe that every member of the RHS team should have the opportunity to make a difference.
Are you enthusiastic about horticulture? Have you already completed (or are studying for) a Level 2 horticultural theory qualification and have at least 3 months practical experience? Are you interested in specialising and completing a Level 3 Award to further your career?, Our Professional Work Placement programme is a one-year paid work experience placement for horticulturists who wish to specialise.
