First, let me apologize for the lack of pictures in my post. I've never been much of a picture taker unless it's of baby animals or pretty flowers. So, sorry about that.
Moving on...
This week was the annual First Ladies Campus Club plant sale. While there are many plant sales that happen around Auburn in the Spring, this one had particular importance to me because I had to coordinate volunteers to help load, transport and unload plants, as well as work the actual sale. This was a part of a project requirement for my practicum class. Finding the volunteers was actually easy, since there were students in the herbaceous ornamentals labs that needed "work hours" for a grade, so there were many that were willing to help out. We loaded up plants from the greenhouse complex on Monday, in the POURING rain. We were all soaked. April showers bring May flowers, though, right? That's what's I kept telling myself as water sloshed in my shoes... At least there were a lot of people to help so we had everything moved in about 45 minutes. The plant sale itself went much more smoothy because it was moved inside. I think in the end they made about $1850, which is good considering the weather and sudden change of plans. On Thursday we had a meeting about our upcoming trip. What trip you may ask? The one where we go to England for a week! The fab 5, along with three undergraduates and Dr. Eakes and Dr. Robinson, will leave May 3 on the annual Orr trip. We will be flying in to Manchester and working our way down to London and flying out of there on May 11. Be sure to check back then because we will be blogging from across the pond! Soon we will also be adding another cohort to our midst, so there will be four new bloggers to hear from.
We can't wait to share our UK travels with you!
Until then,
Hanna P.
