Career Profile
Name: Kate Hamilton
Address: Dublin
Completed course: 2008
While studying for a business course in Dublin I found that my interests were more inclined to horticulture. I got work in an organic garden in County Louth for about nine months. I then got a place on the Level 5 Certificate in Horticulture course at the Teagasc College of Amenity Horticulture, National Botanic Gardens.
The course was very concise yet comprehensive. Having two days of practical training each week together with three days of class-based learning was a great combination.
Having completed the course I returned to England and I got work as a landscape gardener at the University of Sheffield. I enjoy this work very much. At a future date, I intend following additional studies in horticulture.
