Horticulture at Otago Polytechnic

The Otago Polytechnic has sadly decided to close the Horticulture Programme in Dunedin. We can take comfort in knowing that we have helped to train some amazing horticulturists

We would just like to say a very special 'Thank You' to all the wonderful students who have shared our journey and all our industry friends who have helped us.

Have a Wonderful Christmas and a Joyful New Year!

Best Wishes from the Dunedin Hort Team.

Great work from our wonderful arb team!

We are into the last term. Time to focus on learning rigging skills. Come and learn about all aspects of tree care and management. Head to our website and apply for 2025 #otagopolytechnicarboriculture #otagopolytechnic

So very proud of the Living Campus team!

Otago Polytechnic's Living Campus was recently nominated for a Keep Dunedin Beautiful Award! 🌱

Living Campus supervisor Kim Thomas and two of the gardening team, Liam Hoffman and Michael Gaffney, represented Otago Polytechnic at the awards evening, where we were awarded “Highly Commended”. 🏆👏

The Living Campus is developed and maintained by a skilled team of Otago Polytechnic horticulture graduates, as well as many hours of mahi carried out yearly by students training for their qualification 🌿

Ka pai! 🙌

Great video Ben - the team is doing an amazing job!

It might seem strange to cut down trees in an ecosanctuary, but it helps future forests and future arborists. Thanks to our firends from Otago Polytechnic.

Making native planting easy!

, , I'm looking forward to going to the Taieri Open Day tomorrow, it should be a fun day!

Otago Polytechnic,

Started the planning for our end of year plant sale on Saturday 16 November. I love spending extra time in the nursery, preparing for this year and planning for next year.

Horticulture is an industry of joyful anticipation!
