gardening courses

[alicemama]

would love to do a gardening course during my spare time but no idea which one or with which ditance learning company....any suggestions?

I was lucky enough to have an agricultural college near by that I could study at. Perhaps there is one near you. The one near me offers daytime, evening and weekend courses. I've done a 10 week garden design course and a 1 day willow art work shop - made a passable tripody thing to grow plants up(cannt think what they are called).
The other people on the courses were really nice and it was good to be able to talk about plants etc with like-minded people.
