Courses
The garden has excellent teaching and demonstration facilities that include classrooms, potting shed, glasshouses, polythene tunnels, propagation facilities and practical outdoor areas.
There is also a small reference library that can be consulted on request. Lectures, talks and practical classes are held throughout the year. They may form a course of study leading to a nationally recognised qualification or be geared to the amateur gardener who wishes to attend an occasional class on a topic of particular interest.

Inclusion Project
Suntrap runs specialist courses for groups and individuals - with complex needs which affect their ability to learn - from a number of day care centres and schools. It is one of the few educational centres in Scotland to use gardening and horticulture as therapy, aimed at improving the health and well being of individuals.
