Have you contacted any nearby Universities to see if they have a volunteering/careers office that may have done research on what their students want?

From my own experience, i wanted to gain valuable design industry knowledge that you just don't learn at college/university. Also, future opportunities and to build on your portfolio.

I have found that I wanted to feel part of the team and it became useful as well as enjoyable to take part in mini projects, brain storm new ideas and feedback as well sit in on meetings and presentations. I found these aspects to be very thought provoking, inspiring and developing opportunities for the future. Also, as a University student, it's really helpful to do work experience that allows you to make that connection between subjects at University and then how this is related to business in a real life situation.

needs help with carbon offsetting- is there a way of doing it properly or is it just a bit of a cop out? If I drive a lot how can I work out what I need to offset?

This is an interesting question - and I'm not sure of the answer. But here is what i think based on what I've read .... In order to offset your carbon you have to first calculate it which must be a good thing. It makes you aware of your carbon footprint so that you can then start thinking about how to avoid producing so much carbon and also reducing it using effiecency methods. Then maybe try and offset the things you can't reduce. I think it's important to use a quaility assured carbon offset. You can calculate your carbon footprint here: http://carboncalculator.direct.gov.uk/index.html

lindsey @ Eden Project
Hi there! Large scale landscape architecture projects are not that uncommon – particularly when working with internationally known firms. However, working on projects that emphasise a botanic collection are less common and are perhaps a more niche landscape architecture domain. There is always an element of being in the “right place at the right time” when it comes to gaining opportunities to work on distinctive, world renowned projects. However, to be involved with botanic garden landscape design there is one key component that will help put you ahead of the rest: knowing your plants! Now, during your course and as a graduate, put equal if not greater emphasis on knowing a comprehensive range of plant species at all strata of growth – ground layer, shrub layer and trees to match a range of soil and climate conditions. This will help you assess how the hard landscape elements interrelate with their surroundings and the softer elements which shoudl give you an edge over other candidates. I hope this helps and enjoy the course :-)
