In addition they enjoy trips to outstanding local gardens and many will join a study tour to Barcelona next summer.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulating the students at an awards presentation at Reaseheath Hall, RHS Course Manager Anne Harrison said: \u201cThese qualifications demand a lot of individual input and the final exams are very stringent. This is why they are so well recognised and respected in the industry. You have put in a tremendous effort, with some of you juggling jobs and home duties alongside your studies, and you should all be very proud of your achievements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Head of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/further-education\/courses\/horticulture\/\">Horticulture<\/a> Sarah Hopkinson and RHS Master of Horticulture Harry Delaney, who taught some the students before retiring last year, also attended the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Reaseheath offers the RHS Level 2 and Level 3 Certificates in Horticulture (theory and practical) as weekly daytime courses and an additional RHS Level 2 Certificate in Horticulture (theory only) as an evening course.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eighty-five students who gained Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) qualifications at Reaseheath this year have celebrated their achievements.
