Growing Up is a service run by Dundee Family Support Team (DFST), part of the children's charity Barnardo's Scotland. The service offers skills training in horticulture and utilises horticultural therapy to aid the development of the trainees, aged from 18 - 25 years old. The programme will give the young people a recognised industry qualification; work experience and skills that could lead to further education or to employment, as well as a lifelong interest in horticulture.

On successful completion of the course Trainees will receive a Certificate from the Royal Caledonian Horticultural Society, The Barnardo's Certificate in Horticulture as well as access to the Scottish Qualifications Authority Dynamic Youth Awards. All Certification is externally verified by qualified horticulturalists or educationalists.
