Sometimes I get to do what I went to school for and that is awesome! This is an illustrative plan for a large residential job in Florence, SC. I'm aiming for Southern Living on this one!

California Trip -- 5.18.10 (Day 2)

7:30 Breakfast and on the road to UC Santa Cruz Farm Research Station

The farm was great. Everything looked excellent. There appeared to be no weeds or insects and the temperature was so mild that they were still planting brassicas in May.









Also, on the campus there is a smaller 2 acre garden (The Chadwick Garden) that is a display vegetable garden, that is on a steep incline and terraced. Every inch of the garden was used for something it seemed. And there must have been 15 people working in this small space doing everything from weeding and hauling debris out in wheel barrows to pruning fruit trees and planting.










These two visits took up about half the day. Next we went into San Francisco.
