Gillingham Campus Spotlight

We open the doors to our EMA Gillingham campus in this new spotlight video. Hear from staff and students about what it’s like to learn and work at the site, along with how we cater to the needs of young people who choose to take the next steps in their journey with us.

From the classroom, to the café, shop, and glasshouse, EMA’s campus at Thorngrove Garden Centre continues to develop into a unique place to learn and gain valuable work experience.
