Default Proffessional Gardening

Noe, you have to be employed by them. You basically pick for minimum wage /
by the weight. Mostly the students do it but I got lucky and was one of the
few members of the public that got a job. I'm thinking about applying to
exercise their horses this year, they're all so beautiful!

If you want PYO, theres a wonderful place in Hullbridge / Hockley near
Rayleigh.

Yeah, they do good short courses and have just had some massive, MASSIVE
greenhouses built as well as a new science block. I pick fruit there in

the
summer sometimes, living only 500m down the road!
