CPD Days & In-House Training

We hold our CPD courses at Hestercome House & Gardens.

The main reason we chose Hestercombe is because the Hestercombe Gardens Trust is an independent charitable trust. All the money raised from entry fees, memberships and events etc support the restoration and continued maintenance of the gardens.

They are also a very dog friendly venue, which is ideal as we need dogs to come along and help us on our courses!

They are situated close to the M5 near Taunton and we hope this is easily accessible for the majority of people wanting to come along for the day.
