Thats the missing bit Kevin ... like you I dug before... I got involved in local groups.. applied and volunteered... went to Uni (er... got pissed ... left... er cough) went on to work... but by that time I had over 2 years of exp in digging. So I hit the ground running... and then learnt from people.
(had a laugh yesterday... when a person who will remain nameless... but was 6 months old when I first put trowel to soil!) told me I did not understand what it was really like
perhaps this is another push we can get into this year... TRAINING !! not just a few bursery positions... but a real scheme, a real standard and a real opportunity to learn...
Along the lines of Framework?? Whatever you think... people did seem to learn! (and a friend of mine was part of it... so watch what ya say!)
