Gardening

Course details

Gardening is the fastest growing leisure pastime for many practical as well as economic reasons.

There are sound economic reasons for getting the most out of your garden. Aside from the considerable saving in expenditure, vegetables taste better when they come from your own garden. Food in the shops is subject to maximum production techniques which concentrate more on yield per acre than consistent quality and flavour.

The name Gerry Daly is a household word in amateur gardening in Ireland. His Television and Radio programmes are enjoyed and respected by gardeners throughout the country. Here is his opinion on the Kilroy's College course in gardening.

"For successful gardening it is important to have a good formal base of knowledge. Armed with knowledge it becomes easy to understand the world of plants. Otherwise gardening can be a hit-or-miss affair, often with needless disappointment. I am pleased to see a correspondence course in gardening by Kilroy's College, for those for whom attendance at a standard course is inconvenient." - Gerry Daly

Our course will help you to enjoy the shear pleasure that gardening can bring to your leisure time. You will get closer to nature, learn to create the garden you always wanted and as a bonus you will get to taste your own produce in due course.

On the successful completion of your course, you will be awarded the Kilroy's College Diploma in Gardening in recognition of your educational achievement.
