Excellent course, especially the part taught at RBGE where the lecturers are passionate and exceptionally committed. Certainly best course on offer in Scotland but you must be willing to work hard as you will get out what you put in. Also take full advantage of the wonderful resource which is the garden itself and the amazing library and herbarium.
