"During the summer I completed an internship in Hydroponic Cultivation.
This has fortunately led to me now being a paid employee for the organisation.
All of the team are warm and friendly and I have felt very supported."

The most enjoyable part of growing, is seeing the whole life cycle of the plants. From sowing the seeds, to watching them grow and finally harvesting them, I find the whole process very rewarding.
The most rewarding part has been working as part of a small team. While I practice on a smaller scale alone, I have loved working alongside other knowledgeable enthusiasts who have taught and helped me so much.
Everyone has been super. They are all very supportive and knowledgeable. Any technical challenges I’ve had with theoretical questions have always been solved and answered.
