On Wednesday, I was very privileged to attend an RHS Careers Day Conference focusing on ‘Horticulture : A Career to be Proud of’.
Chaired by the wonderful Alan Titchmarsh, it coincided with National Gardening Week, and was introduced by Sue Biggs, RHS Director General and Jim Gardiner, RHS Director of Horticulture.
