Hello Darcey! 😍👃❤️ #davidaustin

She’s a stunner Elisa 😍

Thanks @rachelbrooks 😊 Is it possible to smell a rose too often? 😂

Waiting patiently for Darcey but it is so hard! 😍👃❤️

Won’t be long ❤️❤️

Almost there.... 😄

I’ve treated myself to this beauty after successfully completing a horticulture course and exam. Woo hoo! 😊 It’s been an intense past few months doing this course while working but have learned so much and it’s the beginning of my working with a volunteer organization of wonderful gardeners. 😊😊 Now hoping to spend some time in my sad, neglected garden and get back here on GT more!

Congratulations & a great choice ❤️

Well done 👍🏻

And what a lovely memento! Congratulations and very well done Elisa! 🎉

@gjones I’ve learned so much but also discovered how much I don’t know 😂

@awomanonabike @Jasonsparkes1 @christineb @gjones @rachelbrooks thanks everyone! 😊 Planting this one in a container, I’ve read/heard they can do well in that situation.

@gjones yes, definitely, I’m loving the learning...there is another one that the Master Gardeners offer every 2 years although it is more in depth with more time needed for study/assignments so I’ll give that a think later. For now I have lots of book/website learning to keep me busy. 😊

That’s the thing about learning - you discover your unknown unknowns 😉👍

Very, very true! @awomanonabike

Good purchase! DA roses are great 👍🏼

And congrats on finishing the course! Well done. Will be very rewarding and hope it’s a start to something good for the future. I’ve just finished one of six modules, the next one finishes in June. Then I’ve got exams to worry about 🙈

Thanks, Rich, I’ve enjoyed it a lot and plan to keep on going....have a feeling horticulture is in my future somewhere 😊 Love reading your posts on here from your learning, helps me keep on learning. Best of luck when you reach the exam phase, all will go well I’m certain! 😊 @richard.spicer.7906
