@deborahh hi Deb. I believe youโre right! ๐ธ๐๐
https://aus.social/@coolandnormal/109622693500608854 I'm a #Gardener looking to do a qualification in #Horticulture.
Although the qualification can be done in a classroom setting, I would prefer to do it as a #traineeship partly because I think I would learn more and partly because I need the work. Signing up for a traineeship based qualification requires regular work on a contract.
I have a special interest in #Tea #CamelliaSinensis particularly #Puerh
I'm also interested in #NativePlants #LandRegeneraton #FoodSovereignty and helping elderly and disabled people maintain their gardens, their access to food and their connections with nature.
I have farming experience and am happy to do mostly outdoor manual labour. I'm a casual university #teacher so a school garden program or other educational environment would also be suitable.
Please #boost if you know anyone who might need #Gardening #Horticulture #LandCare #GroundsKeeping #MarketGardening in #GundijimaraCountry or surrounds.
Edit: I can organise the qualification, the prerequisite is that I be contracted to someone else's horticulture business (rather than self-employed in horticulture, as I am now). There are government kickbacks to make it worth your while.
I currently work at Melb Uni, so #PartTime is fine, although I would consider giving that up for #FullTime
