HISTORIC AND BOTANIC GARDEN BURSARY SCHEME - STRENGTHENING THE UK'S HORTICULTURAL HERITAGE


Eve Worral: HBGBS Trainee at Trebah Gardens, Cornwall

What made you choose horticulture and not banking?
I was working in an office and spent my time staring out the window watching an old man potter around his immaculate allotment. This made me start thinking how great it would be if I could get paid to work outside and grow stuff! So I decided to hand in my notice and do a National Diploma in Horticulture.

What do you enjoy most in your daily jobs?
Just being outside working in a beautiful garden

 What do you dislike the most in the potting shed?
Cold numb hands!

 Where do you think you will be in 5 years time?
I want to have travelled and worked in different gardens around the world and then who knows what path that will lead me down, hopefully enjoying working in a lovely garden.
