Changes to Garden Centre Management

A best selling course in Garden Centre Management has been extensively revised by ACS Distance Education. Academic staff who have many years of experience in the nursery trade have redeveloped this successful course to produce an even more comprehensive ‘must do’ course for garden centre managers or those looking to set up a garden centre. What sets this course ahead of the field is the emphasis on plant identification throughout which gives the student a huge advantage over those who merely ‘learn on the job’. The course also addresses plant care, plant usage, and plant maintenance for a wide variety of plants as well as garden centre products and successful marketing and management strategies. Insight into the competition is provided through in depth analyses of the day-to-day operations of various garden centres. “This course will ignite the passion required to successfully manage a Garden Centre – it will show you how to manage staff, inspire and inform your customers and run the best garden centre around!”Adriana Fraser, ACS Tutor
