Why Choose Leafy Learning

Leafy Learning began in January 2020. The free blogs, YouTube videos and resources on the website have been viewed thousands of times. We were also approached and asked if we could provide private tutoring and many emails said that our free provision was better than notes and resources provided by some other distance learning providers who charge hundreds of pounds.

So, instead of providing the odd free blog (sorry for the blog silence over the last few months but we have been writing the new syllabus notes) we decided to try to be one of the best online distance learning providers for the new RHS Level 2 qualification.

We believe we have proved we can teach tricky topics and there is plenty of free content on the website if you want to take a look and judge for yourself.

  • We are passionate about the environment and all aspects of horticulture. The qualified tutors who will support you have different industry backgrounds which means together we have a vast array of knowledge. The other thing that makes us great is that we have teaching qualifications: lots of experts know their subject but it does not mean they can teach it to others!
  • RHS level 2 Certificate in the Principles of Plant growth and Development is the ONLY course we will offer. Our focus is really focussed!
  • Fabulous feedback from subscribers- We have had many, many thankyous but this one stands out:

I hope you’re well and enjoying the extended flowering season we’re having. I just wanted to get in touch as I’ve now finished all 3 RHS Level 2 certificates and wanted to express my gratitude again for your amazing Leafy Learning blog. I went back to it again and again and again. It was so amazing to have information presented in a different, concise, expert, easy to understand format by you and I can only imagine how many hours you spent putting the information together. It is a huge skill to be able to convey information in the way you do. Thank you so so much.

I got commendations in all the units and now work as a full time gardener, part time self employed and part time on a private estate so the best of all worlds in my opinion 🤣.

I’m not telling you this because I want congratulations for myself – I’m telling you because for every person that actually gets in touch to say thanks and share what a difference you’ve made to me as an individual and the RHS L2 community as a whole I guess there are 40 more you’ll never hear from. You’re the bestest!
