Well it is that time of year again - I started back to college two weeks ago (just one day a week) and already we have been given some assignments and dates for plant identification exams! As it is our second year there is no easing us in gently at all, we have been involved in advanced surveying skills which just builds on what we learnt last year, learning more and more plants - you can never learn enough, advanced graphic skills and we have been shown different software packages to help when designing.

It's all great, I really do enjoy it although it is fast moving and very varied plus it is lovely to see friends on the course too!
