One day a week, Selina is in college, at Capel Manor on the Regent’s Park campus. That’s where she has the lectures and practical classes that will help her prepare for her final assessment for the Horticulture and Landscape Operative qualification.

The exercises are meant to prepare the students for the practical portion of the exams. Also, college has allowed the students to create a little community and bond over similar experiences. Since the students are all on the same apprenticeship but in different parks, they can see each other once a week at college.
