Mount Congreve School of Horticulture Graduations

The first crop of students from a new school of horticulture based in Co. Waterford have graduated and have been presented with their awards.

The Mount Congreve School of Horticulture was established in 2023 as an education initiative and collaboration between Mount Congreve Gardens and the Waterford and Wexford Education and Training Board (WWETB).

The first crop of students of the school were presented with their awards by the deputy mayor of Waterford City and County Council, Cllr. Adam Wyse, at the inaugural awards ceremony.

The first cohort of 16 full-time adult learners at Mount Congreve Gardens were presented with their official award certificates achieved in conjunction with the WWETB, following the completion of their full-time one-year programme of study.

Over the last year, students attending the school have trained with school staff and a team of craft gardeners.
