    Hi

    I was looking to enrol onto a basic home study course in Gardening studies with one of these online distance learning colleges. Stonebridge, BSY or Other Colleges etc.

    Just asking if anyone here has done a theory based course in this subject or related or do you suggest I enrol onto a hands on course at my local College.

    They have one here.

    http://www.opencollege.info/gardening.html

    Thanks

    Hello and welcome to the forum Sally :)

    I would look at local colleges rather than online. Be very careful of online courses offered by "Open Colleges", you could easily be wasting your money.

    There are many good local colleges offering all sorts of courses. Where is your location?

    I agree with JWK , look round locally, colleges etc,I really think any garden course has to be "hands on"
