On Friday, November 29, we had sold 10+ poinsettias which is the weekend best and we had the chance to make some happy customers. We also had a nice surprise, which was Jeff’s new pet Lenny who kept us company and made our day go by a little quicker. Jeff had to give us the morning run down of the daily operations such as; opening the till, daily check list, watering plants, etc. After that we were on our own! As far as daily tasks it was a productive day. Jordan tackled the task of printing up signs as well as laminating then for the benches, Johnny and I started the daunting task of painting congress materials. This would turn out to be a weekend’s worth of work.
Saturday, the 30th, Poinsettia sales slowed to about half of the amount on the first day. None the less we all kept busy by making stunning new planter boxes that included three or more poinsettias. While Johnny worked diligently on the big job of painting Jordan and I held down the greenhouse. We kept up with watering plants, cleaning windows, and painting additional pots for congress. We also started to sand the large white, steal, table located in the middle of the working area in preparation for painting on Sunday.
On Sunday, our final day, we had yet another productive day. We started by cleaning ledges and sweeping in abnormal spots to clean the place up a bit. Johnny unfortunately had yet another full day of painting. We completed smaller jobs such as; collecting gator bags from around campus and finishing any touch ups on the pots we painted the day before. Jordan had the exciting job of watering the plants indoors while Ajay stayed in the greenhouse to help any potential customers. Unfortunately poinsettia sales came to a halt today. The biggest job today would be painting the work bench. We did it with time to spare so we decided to clean some more! This concluded our weekend practical and overall we believe we did a fine job.
We hope you agree! - Ajay, Johnny, Jordan
