2024 saw Horticap celebrate its 40th Anniversary
We set out in 1984 with the simple belief that the lives of our students could be enhanced by connecting with nature through the horticultural skills they learn at Horticap. Our students are Horticap’ s unsung heroes who have contributed to 40 years of growth.
There have been many milestones along the way, from the development of Horticap’s facilities, which now includes a gift shop, café and gardens, to the numerous awards and recognition we have gained at prestigious events, such as the Great Yorkshire Show.
We would like to extend our thanks to all who have helped us on our way; your contribution has helped us cultivate a brighter future for our students by unlocking their potential through the magic of gardening.
We now have students helping in the shop and café, which has resulted in their confidence growing and social skills increasing.
We are marking our birthday year with a diary of commemorative fundraising and events and look forward to your continued support as we celebrate together with confidence that the next forty years will continue to see us grow.
