WORK EXPERIENCE

At BLAKEDOWN garden landscapes

For my work experience i went to my mum’s place of work where they specialise in hard landscaping of things like skate parks and new housing estates. It is best to choose something you would like to do when you are older or something you are interested in. Whatever you do don't wait until the last minute to find a placement because you could end up working @ school or even worse in a GARDEN CENTRE like ME.

I worked from 9:00 to 3:00, however, i was lucky because I worked the same hours as my mum because its her place of work and i was able to work fairly short hours. Lots of people worked longer than school hours, however don't let this put you off because it’s only for a week and where ever you go I’m sure you will have a great time.

Remember don't forgot to take a pack lunch or ask about eating arrangements because you will be very hungry by lunchtime. One day I had to go out on site and load cut grass into a trailer, it was awful but i had to grit my teeth and bare it.

Just remember don't refuse to do anything that you think you might not like because you might surprise yourself and enjoy it.
