For the past few summers, I have taken a job at a local greenhouse.  Not only does it let me get out of the house, but it allows me to learn how to take better care of the plants I have at home.

The greenhouse that I work at provides a number of training seminars over the growing season to the staff so that we are better prepared to answer the questions that our customers ask us.  We have studied many subjects in the past including tree selection, lantana care, proper amounts of water to give plants.

But today, our training session covered the topics of traditional landscaping designs versus the new landscaping design ideas.  We were presented with a number of real world examples in the presentation and we will be better equipped to give good advice when it comes to landscaping.

Well, my break is over… time to get back to work.
