The RHS Fellowship provided for Colleen to spend one year working at leading historic and botanic gardens in the UK gaining valuable exposure and hands on experience to British horticultural techniques. Within the course of the year, Colleen worked at Kew Gardens, Oxford Botanic Garden, The National Trust and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. Her favorite part of the UK was the SW of England in beautiful Cornwall. She can not wait to visit again with her young family and hike the stunning SW coastline.
