Advancement of horticultural expertise
The greenhouse has been transformed into a vibrant hub of activity, showcasing a diverse collection of scented leaf Pelargoniums, also known as Geraniums. Vita Worth, a current RHS Level 3 Practical student, has taken on the role of Project Manager for this initiative. Vita has worked alongside her fellow students, under the guidance of Shuttleworth College tutors, to propagate new plants from cuttings and expand the collection.
The greenhouse now serves as a display space for the delightful plants, which feature unique scents and whimsical names such as ‘Creamy Nutmeg.’ Vita’s project reflects the college’s commitment to hands-on, student-led learning and the advancement of horticultural expertise.
