An exhibition of botanical art by SERC students from the OCN Level 2 in Botanical Art will be at Holywood Library from 26 to 30 May 2026.
The exhibition, organised by Joanna Loane, Associate Lecturer in Horticulture, and Lecturer for the Botanical Art Programme, will include compositions and botanical studies featuring a range of plants -many of which are grown at the SERC Holywood Campus - and is sure to provide inspiration for anyone thinking about enrolling in the botanical art course.
You could make a day of it by popping along to our annual Horticulture Open Day at Holywood Campus, Old Holywood Road, on Wednesday 27 May from 3.00pm – 5.00pm.
Prospective students will have the opportunity to speak to our horticulture team about the full range of courses on offer, from Leisure Gardening and Leisure Floral Art to OCN accredited Level 2 Awards in Gardening Skills, Organic Fruit and Vegetable Growing, Botanical Art, Plant Knowledge, or the Certificate in Garden Design. We also offer the Royal Horticultural Society Accredited Level 2 Certificate in the Principals of Plant Growth and Development.
The Open Day is a great opportunity to see the work our students and volunteers do to maintain our garden, including the wildlife pond, the wellbeing garden and the greenhouses, and to view some projects they have been working on over the past year, including our new cottage garden.
Claire Dunwoody, Curriculum Manager, Horticulture & Floral Design said, “There is something for everyone at SERC, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned gardener, or simply you want to keep up with current trends. There is always something new to learn and the facilities at the Holywood Campus offer a creative and enjoyable environment for gardening.”
