WFGA Calendar of Events 2024
The WFGA is recognised for its WRAGS placements but there is a lot more that we do to try and provide training and practical experience opportunities for people interested in horticulture.
Please find below our calendar of events for 2024/25. Please note that not all of these may be available to book on our website immediately and further events will be added throughout the year.
