Summer Intern's First Impression

One week is done of my three-week internship with Florence. I came into my first day having a general idea of what I was going to do, but still, I was excited by the prospect of a new adventure. Walking around the property with Florence it was a lot to take in, everything is so green it’s almost overwhelming. I realized quickly how fulfilling it is to be around nature and work outdoors. It is so easy to get caught up in school and work because we get caught up in our day to day, but sometimes it’s good to just slow down. It’s important to surround ourselves with nature and its healing powers. To work with nature as farmers do.

The herbs, flowers, and wildflowers inspire me to create and renew. I’m passionate about helping Florence ready the farm for visitors so others can experience no matter the little tasks. I just have to remember when pulling weeds to get all the roots.
