Excellent career prospects: 90% of CAFRE students gain employment within 6 months. The College receives a steady flow of requests for students from the industry locally and nationally. First class facilities: The Amenity Horticulture Centre comprises 18 hectares of landscaped grounds which are all used for skills training for students. As each group of students pass through they have the opportunity to leave their mark whether it is a new pergola, shrub bed or stand of trees. The centre includes a large walled garden which has recently undergone a major redevelopment. The 'Richardson's Walled Garden at Greenmount' with its grand conservatory, knot garden, maze, rose garden, fruit garden and other ornamental plantings is a showpiece for Northern Ireland horticulture. The amenity centre also has extensive plant collections and has purpose built training facilities for landscape construction skills, machinery operation and maintenance.
