During the event full time students from the Level 5 Certificate in Horticulture, Level 6 advanced Certificate in Horticulture and the Level 7 degree programme will be present to offer their thoughts on their college programmes.

There will also be short presentations on the courses offered and participants will get a chance to ask questions to the panel directly.
