Go to the Garden Centre and make a note of everything that is sold. 

Then ask for a pre-interview visit. 

Go online and look at the whole range of stuff they sell and link to.

Only a part of what they sell are actual plants and they will be seasonal so as new plants come in you can learn their character- most gardeners buying plants will know what they want.

 

It is a retail job- which you can do.

It is in a horticultural environment with which you are unfamiliar. 

So become a volunteer yourself  for the other days.

Heeley City Farm is very familiar with disability issues and you will be working in an environment where ther is a range of abilities- be positive and enthusiastic, importantly, focus on what you can do for them.

Be prepared to answer the obvious question about priority of education over job.

Become a volunteer anyway- it will certainly help with your CV.

I do hope you are successful.
