New Job!!

[Gardening_Girl]

Hello all,
After posting on here about a month ago on a short rant about horticultural jobs.... I finally found myself one !!
Its only part time but its a fantastic job working for a charity running short horticultural training sessions for people with disabilities/severe autism or mental heath issues, Mainly growing fruit and veg and looking after a few animals supporting them through their learning. Can't wait to get started....

im absolutely chuffed to bits and just thought I would share....we like sharing !!!!

Congrats GG - Love to hear good news like yours

[Gardening_Girl]

just to clarify ......that's supporting the people through their learning not the animals (a Shetland pony and some chickens)

[Bigmallly]

Glad you cleared that up GG, here's me thinking you was supporting the animals through their learning.......

Well Done, dear lady.
Is it whirlow hall farm? I go there picking raspberries and strawberries.
My 5 year old grandson is autistic and loves animals and helping me in the garden.
