Working in the community garden at the Doveton Neighbourhood Learning Centre has been an impressive skill development journey for me. The hours are flexible, allowing me to balance work and personal commitments effectively. The friendly atmosphere of the community garden has made the experience even more enjoyable.
Furthermore, I have had the opportunity to learn many new things while engaging with others in this setting. The Learning Centre provides a nurturing environment for personal growth, and I am grateful for the chance to interact with new people who share my passion for gardening and community development.
