Gardening at Thrive really blows the cobwebs away and clears my mind. I'm now studying towards a City & Guilds Level 2 Diploma in work-based horticulture and successfully applied for a part-time job at Thrive Birmingham with responsibility for a new plant sales project. I feel like I'm at the start of a whole new career.
