Connie Gardner

For my work experience I worked as part of a gardening team, helping with a range of outdoor maintenance tasks. I gained practical experience in garden maintenance, including planting, weeding, and general upkeep, as well as assisting with landscaping projects such as laying patios and building sleeper beds. Through this work I developed teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and time management skills while working safely and following instructions.

Helped on a busy market stall during the RHS Malvern spring festival, where I served customers in a friendly and polite manner whilst also ensuring the stall remained well stocked throughout the day. Worked as part of a team in a fast-paced environment, developing communication, customer service, and organisational skills while helping to keep the stall clean, tidy, and welcoming.
