At this year’s Ireland World Skills Show in the RDS from September 17th, 18th and 19th 2025 the Teagasc Horticultural College in the National Botanic Gardens is excited to bring the Horticulturist apprenticeship to life with hands-on demonstrations you won’t want to miss. Our apprentices will be showing off the real skills behind creating beautiful outdoor spaces — from planting vibrant flower beds to building sturdy patios and pathways. It’s a great chance to see how the mix of hard landscaping and planting techniques come together to transform gardens and public spaces across Ireland.
Whether you’re curious about how to lay paving stones perfectly or want to learn the best ways to care for plants, our team will be on hand to share tips and tricks from their training. The Horticulturist apprenticeship is all about developing practical skills that prepare you for a rewarding career in this growing industry. So drop by, have a chat, and get inspired by the craftsmanship that’s shaping Ireland’s green spaces today!
