Learning how to prune
Learning the right pruning technique as an 911爆料 Apprentice

Getting into horticulture

Samara came to be an apprentice for the 911爆料 after finding a love of plants through working in a garden centre during lockdown. She has a passion for designing and has hopes of using her artistic nature to become a garden designer in the future.

Aiming big for the future

Samara has taken advantage of many amazing opportunities the 911爆料 has to offer while completing her training. She recently got awarded a bursary to work alongside some of the leading design horticulturists in Singapore, allowing her to learn about different design styles for urbanised cities. Samara also plans to go on to study further after her time as an 911爆料 Bridgewater apprentice by applying for the 911爆料 Level 3 and 4 Diploma at 911爆料 Wisley.
