The week of May 12, 2014

The week of May 12^th 2014 was beautiful for Monday and Tuesday day, then it all went downhill from there. Rain, rain and more rain for the rest of the week. This week we lost our wonderful friends Sara and Sherri to the Cuddy Gardens so it was just the four of us. First on the list of things to do was Z building. Weed, edge, and bring some life back to those gardens. We do have a bunch beautiful flowers in bloom down there, daffodils, variegated tulips and lady in black aster.

Second on the list was to re pot up all the tomatoes and veggies that were not up to Pascoe’s standers. Everything needs to look and be done professionally in the greenhouse. Re potting took all day, we did this because these plants will for sale to the public and they need to look up to par to compete with all the other nurseries.

Thursday consisted of working on our designated gardens for the morning. We all work so hard to keep the campus looking fabulous. This brought us to lunch time, and Mother Nature was still sad, the rain continues. Once all our bellies were full it was time to get back at it. The great J. Rowley had us work as a group to finish up a couple beds down by R2 (Peregrine) and once again we edged, weeded and cleaned up a bunch or debris.

Last on the list for the week was training. For the employees under 25 we had young workers awareness training. This was very informational and answered some questions that we had about the workplace. Heat stress training was up next. We all need to be a part of that, it is important to know what can happen when we work in the heat to long, or the signs and symptoms to look for when we do work in the heat. We also had some online training we had to do. We took our time to achieve 80 present or higher on these modules. By the time we were done it was time to clean up for the May long weekend. Stay tuned in for more up to date information about the Fanshwe and Cuddy gardens!
