Today was great and I learned a lot about the greenhouse area!!!!! First thing Jim Salyards (Greenhouse Manager) took my on a little tour of the greenhouses... this was great and he also went over a job I will do daily!!!! I get to write down the temperatures from thermometers of the last day... Its cool and I think I can handle it :):)
After that I went with Lisa Griffin (Greenhouse Person) and she showed me what she does... First we gathered foliage from around the property for the flower arrangers to use in their arrangements and than she showed me how to store it all in a room!!! After that she showed me all about the interior plants in the mansion on and other locations like int he visitors center and stuff like that!!!! I will be doing her job on Wednesday and Thursday because she has those days off!!!! Well not all of it but I will take care of the interior plants.... water, clean up if leaves fall, make and sure they look good!!!!
She showed me the greenhouse I will be in charge of... and all that means is I get to water it :) But she showed me and I did the watering!!! I will also water a bunch of stuff outside by the potting shed too... I like watering so this is a good job for me!!!!
In the afternoon to finish up the time I had left... Jim had me pruning some mums... this was fun and easy and lots better than when I pruned the boxwood :) All I had to do was use big scissors and trip it into a nice round shape!!!! I like it when it makes sense and I can do it on the first try!!!!!
Well that all but I am sure these two weeks will be fun for me!!!!!
