HBGTP Study Tour 2024

29 July, 2024

This years’ HBGTP Study Tour was located around the Welsh borders and Somerset. Our trainees spent the weekend visiting several beautiful gardens, meeting Head Gardeners and other garden team members.

The study tour was kindly funded by The Royal Horticulture Society. The gardens visited included:

The trainees had the opportunity to ask questions of Head Gardeners and garden guides, and to exchange ideas and information, as well as planning for their future careers.

Thank you to all of the gardens staff who welcomed us and accommodated us, and to the Village Hotel in Bristol, for providing excellent hospitality.
