The Garden Museum’s new Horticultural Development Traineeship has been designed to give a landscape architecture student from Greenwich University, of particular talent and ambition, a chance to gain practical planting and horticultural experience by placing them at the centre of a busy gardening and horticultural hub. The particular appeal of this traineeship is that it provides the opportunity for aspirant landscape architects to bring both gardening and horticultural knowledge into their professional practice as designers of urban space.
In addition to working within the gardens of the Garden Museum, the traineeship offers the opportunity to spend time gardening at Benton End in Suffolk, under the direction of head gardener James Horner, and free attendance at the regular lectures held usually on Tuesday evenings. There will be also be a possibility of working at Shute House in Wiltshire, a garden and landscape designed by Geoffrey Jellicoe.
The Traineeship will run from Monday June 23rd 2025 to Friday 5th September 2025 (11 weeks in total). Dates to be confirmed with the successful applicant and in line with their university submissions deadlines.
