WFGA Calendar of Events 2021

Booking suspended subject to government advice – Please check back for regular updates.

Thank for your patience and understanding whilst we respond to ongoing changes during this difficult time. Following the government’s advice in the wake of coronavirus, certain workshops and Practical Skills Days may be postponed.

We are working with the tutors to put new dates in the calendar and if you have booked and event with us, we will be in touch with you as soon as we have an update. Thank you for your patience, and please bear with us at this unprecedented time.

The WFGA is recognised for its WRAGS placements but there is a lot more that we do to try and provide training and practical experience opportunities for people interested in horticulture.

Please find below our calendar of events for 2021. Please note that not all of these may be available to book on our website immediately and further events will be added throughout the year.
