Work History

I have worked at the college since completing Level 4 in Commercial Horticulture. Employment has focussed on propagation and plant maintenance in the polytunnels and surrounding stand-down areas. As well as developing technical skills in the glasshouses, including hydroponic systems. I have gained valuable practical experience and also had a customer facing role at the weekly pop-up shops which I organise.
