Now I ‘ve finished my Master Gardeners exam I get to start volunteering, 70 hours worth, for the next 2 years. When I'm finished I get my certificate. Most of the volunteer hours are done by hanging around gardening related events and answering questions from the public.
The exam was on Saturday. We spent 2 hours cleaning up the gardens at REAPS, the local Recycling and Enviromental Action Planing Society. We took all the dead leaves off the garden bed, exposing Crocuses almost ready to flower, emerging red Tulip shoots, Primulas and even Rhubarb. We pruned all the shrubs and trees getting it ready for real spring. After that we sat inside with all our books from home, trying in vain to identify what looked like black and silver twigs and a conifer. I’m sure I identified the conifer as for the twigs I gave up.
If I hadn’t had to do this I would have gone to Vancouver to try my legs at the Sun Run
