Trouble Lurks in the Garden
No picture today with this post because I don't want to gross you out - my swollen, red left foot is the reason for this note.
First - I have already been chastised by my fellow gardener friends. Seems like the guys had less sympathy and did more scolding than the woman.
Second - I feel a little foolish even sharing this with you. I mean, come-on, I am a PROFESSIONAL (aren't I?). But if I don't share this with you, there is a good chance this could happen to you!
So here goes - I stepped on a… Continue

- Hello Doreen,
I'm one of the PDC students that contacted you a while back about volunteering for the Greenbuild conference in some capacity, and I was wondering if you'd heard more about it since then? In the meantime, I'm a new volunteer at Desert Botanical Gardens and had the good luck to get signed up as your instructor aide for the class on Sunday. See you then and if there is absolutely anything I can do to help prepare for the class please let me know.
Thanks,
Jaime
