About Gardening
In Specialist Gardening, students explore how plants grow, how gardens are maintained, and the role gardening plays in health and the environment. Topics range from growing vegetables to recognising different weeds.
The Herbs and Spices – Medicinal Herbs quiz looks at plants used for health benefits, while the Vegetables quiz helps learners identify and understand food crops.
Garden management skills are tested in the Annual Garden Weeds and Lawn Weeds quizzes, where recognising unwanted plants is key to healthy growth.
See the official Government guidance: RHS (Royal Horticulture Society).
