Merriments Gardens Courses take place throughout the year and we are also an Accredited Royal Horticultural Society Training Centre.
Merriments Gardens offers a variety of short courses, ranging from one day introductory courses on different aspects of gardening and 5-week courses on specific areas of horticulture. In addition we offer some longer courses offering you the opportunity to study subjects in more depth.
We teach against the backdrop of Merriments’ beautiful RHS Partner Garden and access to the commercial nursery ensuring we can bring theory to life plus many of our courses also have the opportunity for some hands-on experience.
Merriments Gardens next RHS Level 2 Principles in Plant Growth & Development Course starts in September 2024.
This 34 week course, taught by an RHS approved tutor, is designed for those interested in a career in horticulture alongside keen amateur gardeners. Blending science with art, it emphasises how to leave a positive impact on the environment and improve biodiversity. On completing the course, students also gain an internationally recognised horticultural qualification.

All the best Imogen & your team ❤️ So sad it had to end like this 🥺
Wishing you all the very best for your futures.
Can't make it tomorrow, it would have been my mum's birthday though and she absolutely loved visiting Merriments! All the best ❤️
Oh fantastic, I was just about to ask the question of an extra day! Will try and make it down tomorrow. What are your opening and closing times please? X
I know you’ve sold the property, but do you have any future intentions to keep the Merriments Gardens brand going at a different location? ❤️ you will be deeply missed, I’m sad I didn’t get to see the garden walk or come by one last time before you closed. Wishing you all the best for the future and hopefully the caravan company who are taking the property over will keep the garden walk area and the majority of the original features of Merriments Gardens maintaining its historical significance in the community.. 💐🌸🌺🌹🌼🌻🪴🌳🤍
Great. I was on my way today but turned back when it started to snow.
Wishing all the team the best of wishes for the future
Thank you so much for the wooden tree, I have got it some more dowel rods for it's new life coming with me to Craft Fairs. I wish everyone at Merriments all the very best for the future x
got some souvenir china - so there'll be a little bit of Merriments in my home! So sad, didn't seek you out as I guessed the last thing you needed today was a blubbering geriatric
Oh, bless them! I'm so sorry you're closing. We'll miss you.
