Lepaa campus

At our campus in Lepaa, you can get a close-up feel of the horticultural world.

The campus has a long tradition of training horticultural professionals for over a hundred years, since 1910.

HAMK’s horticultural educations are the only ones of their kind in Finland, in addition to several courses offered by the Häme Vocational Institute on campus. Lepaa also hosts the Built Environment Research Group of the Bioeconomy Research Unit, which focuses on current development challenges at the interface of the social, vegetal and built environment.

In addition to being a learning and research environment, Lepaa is also an event centre. Every year, the campus hosts the Lepaa Exhibition, the most important horticultural and green event in Finland for professionals and enthusiasts.

The Lepaa winery, located on the campus, hosts an annual farm wine competition, which selects the farm wines of the year in various categories. There is also a nine-hole pay and play golf course at Lepaa, where the emphasis is on relaxed socializing and fun.

The Lepaa campus park was the first in Finland to receive the Green Flag Award for its maintenance, user-friendliness and visitor participation.
