The Ed’s team had an early start (even by gardener standards!) last week. We got up with the lark and were out in force for our seasonal visit to RHS Wisley, Surrey.
Our spring training session is an important event in the Ed’s calendar, and very popular with our gardeners. It gives operators a chance to spend time with each other, share their experiences and increase their knowledge.
In previous training sessions, our gardeners have learnt about everything from getting rid of wild garlic to the impact of wet weather on gardens.
The Classroom
This year, we kicked off the morning with an expert-led classroom session. You can’t help being impressed by our expert’s encyclopaedic knowledge of all things garden-related.
It is great to hear about all the new products and developments in the world of gardening, and we know how important that is to provide the best possible gardening services to our lovely customers.
We continued with a full briefing on recent changes in gardening regulations and wound up our session with an open-floor Q&A session.
The Gardens
We can’t visit RHS Wisley without taking a tour of the beautiful gardens. We are always bowled over by their stunning displays and it is so inspiring to seeing gardening creativity at work in this very special place.
The gardens are even more magical in the early morning light, before all the visitors arrive. We were lucky to be visiting while it felt like spring (before the snow hit Surrey again!)
Back to business
Our training was all done and dusted by 9.30 am. We had time for a quick chat after the session before we headed back home to get on with the very important business of keeping our customers happy.
