A Few of our Favourite Things: Trainee Talks

CUBG's Trainees talk about what they have enjoyed most during their year at the Garden

Each year CUBG welcomes a new group of Trainee Technicians. During their year at the Garden they learn and perform the wide range of horticultural skills that are required to maintain our diverse collection of over 8,000 plants – from plant identification to tree maintenance, from looking after tropical plants under glass to mowing the lawns.

We love meeting each year’s group – they always bring such enthusiasm and skills to the Garden. Some of the Class of 2019/20 have kindly recorded their favourite things that they have enjoyed during their time at CUBG.

We would like to thank Candide for their support with editing these films which is hugely appreciated.
