Horticulture and Arboriculture Taster Day

What's it all about?

Horticulture

Get your competitive spirit on! You'll be part of a team racing to locate and correctly identify (using your horticulture skills) rare trees and shrubs in the Hamilton Gardens. The winning team will win a prize.

Arboriculture

See the world from a different perspective. Experience life as an arborist and learn to climb trees safely, using the right equipment. If you have an adventurous spirit, love the great outdoors, and enjoy challenging yourself physically, arboriculture could be your future.

What to bring / wear?

Please bring appropriate clothing (e.g. skirts are not suitable for climbing), and closed in shoes (e.g. sneakers) that are suitable for climbing/orienteering.

As these activities have an outdoor element, please also bring a raincoat, water bottle and sun protection as necessary.
