What is the RHS (level 2) Certificate in Horticulture?
Its full title is ‘The Royal Horticultural Society (level 2) Certificate in Horticulture Examination.’ That’s a bit of a mouthful. So people call it the ‘RHS (level 2) award’ for short. Started in 1893, it’s the main qualification for professional and dedicated horticulturalists who wish to have their horticultural knowledge formally assessed. The RHS (level 2) Certificate in Horticulture is also the qualification for those who wish to embark on a career in horticulture. The exam is growing ever more popular. The number of people taking it has doubled in the last five years.
