His name was put forward for the award by his lecturers, who were impressed with his enthusiasm and dedication.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis\u2019 Level 3 course included a work placement on Reaseheath\u2019s extensive gardens alongside our professional grounds team. Thanks to the practical skills and knowledge he gained, he has since secured a job as a gardener with The National Trust based at Hare Hill, Macclesfield, and at Little Moreton Hall, Congleton.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis, who also completed his Level 2 Diploma in Horticulture at Reaseheath, said: \u201cI really enjoyed the three years I spent at college. It enabled me to get a job working in wonderful surroundings which gives me great satisfaction. Most people don\u2019t realise how many career opportunities are offered within the horticultural industry, and what a great lifestyle you have.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was very pleased and proud to achieve this award, and would like to thank the lecturers at Reaseheath and my current employers for their support and continuing learning opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Emma Hill, Head Gardener of the National Trust\u2019s Cheshire and Wirral portfolio, which includes Hare Hill and Little Moreton Hall, said: \u201cWe are very proud that Lewis\u2019 achievements have been recognised with this national award, and are delighted that he is a member of our team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf visitors would like to see his work, both properties will reopen in early spring 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lewis was presented with his award by Reaseheath\u2019s Principal Marcus Clinton, current Chair of Landex, who told him: \u201cThis is a fantastic national achievement which highlights your brilliant skill development and enabled you to gain a wonderful job in your chosen industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been fantastic to hear of your progression within the National Trust, which is a leader in the field of heritage conservation and one of our very important industry partners.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-4474f20d2389e2e5ecf918a02da5132e\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-4474f20d2389e2e5ecf918a02da5132e{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-4474f20d2389e2e5ecf918a02da5132e hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Talented former horticulture student Lewis West has been recognised for his high level of skills and professionalism with a national award.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":131274,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[872,867,468],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
