The course will be offered by the Teagasc College of Amenity Horticulture National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin; over a 16 week period commencing in early January until the end of June 2021. The module will be delivered through a blended learning model where design studio and assessments occur online, with practical sessions being facilitated at our Teagasc, Ashtown site.
