New horticulture programmes set to bloom at Lytham Hall
Published: Monday 8 June 2026Myerscough College has established a partnership with Lytham Hall to delivery high quality horticulture training to Lytham Hall's volunteers and to the local community.
Do you love everything relating to plants and love working outdoors? Are you looking to extend your own personal gardening skills, improve your job prospects, maybe even be considering a change of direction in your career?
Do you want to actively learn with like-minded people, who have the same passion? Do you want to train at one of the leading land-based colleges in the North West?
From September we are excited to be able to offer the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society Level Two Certificate in Practical Horticulture. This qualification will be delivered by expert tutors from Myerscough College but will utilise the wide range of horticultural resources available at Lytham Hall.
Learners will be able to learn applied horticulture in the beautiful supporting of Lytham Hall and its gardens.
The course is open to anyone wanting to further their horticultural skills and knowledge who can dedicate one day a week to the qualification, with courses available on a Tuesday or a Wednesday from September. This is in addition to an applied course in Practical Horticulture running on a Thursday at Lytham Hall.

These programmes offer an excellent introduction to studying horticulture at Myerscough and allow for more flexible start and end dates, ideal for learners unable to commit to the full year RHS courses.
