Description

With no experience of gardening required, both beginner and green-fingered learners will benefit from the Herb Gardening Diploma Course. Whether your intentions are to add tasty, fresh herbs to recipes or to utilise their medicinal properties, this course will provide you with the information you need to really understand the cultivation of herbs – their various types and how to grow, care for and protect them from pests and disease. We even provide insight into using herbs within recipes and herbal remedies.

The Herb Gardening Diploma Course eases you into the subject with an overview of the practice’s history, the benefits of growing and harvesting herbs, common herbs you may like to grow, and the different types of herb gardens you may wish to cultivate.

It’s then onto the practical side of things, as you learn how to plan and prepare your herb garden. We’ll walk you through techniques for indoor and outdoor planting, including a look at vertical and hydroponic gardening. You’ll also learn how to keep garden pests at bay, prevent and treat common plant diseases, and attract wildlife that is beneficial to your herb garden.

The course concludes with a look at how to use your herbs in recipes and herbal remedies.

By studying this course, you will:

  • Become familiar with various herb types and their uses

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
