I'm now a member of the Gardener's Guild!
Monday 2 November 2026
TB Gardening and Education is officially a member of the Gardener's Guild. This verifies that I am a trained and accredited horticulturalist, as a holder of the RHS Level 2 Certificate in Practical Horticulture. In order to achieve this qualification I passed units on soil testing, sowing seeds & vegetative propagation, ground preparation, establishing seeds and plants in soil, care and pruning of plants, identifying plants, pests, diseases, disorders & beneficial organisms, and practical skills in vegetable growing.
The biggest challenge that I recall was identifying by sight 100 different plant species, both by common and scientific names!
Since completing the course in 2018, I have endeavoured to continue learning , and have expanded my knowledge through extensive research and experience. I have been particularly proud to then share this knowledge with my many students in workshops and courses, and to know that they have then brought that forward into their own gardening journeys.
