Job Searching
We spent the afternoon visiting garden centers and landscape professionals around Gainesville to see if anyone was hiring. Most of them said that it is the slow season for them and to check back in October. One, however, was quite enthusiastic. The place was called Angel Gardens and is run by some very interesting people. They have plants, herbs, antiques, gifts and water gardens. The woman that runs the place is quite interesting, an ordained minister in the church of the divine love, with aspirations of having an organic gardening school and a training school for the mentally disabled. She says because of all the growth their experiencing, she really needs help. She was impressed with my experience and basically offered me a full-time job. So, now we have to decide if it is an opportunity I want to pursue. As of now we're leaning toward continuing the search because she really wants someone committed for the long-haul to come on board and be a part of her venture. She seemed very nice and we met her family as well, all of them work at the center. There is also a restaurant on the property that serves "fusion" food which is basically a mixture of all different cultures, with a leaning toward latin american food. A real interesting place as I'm sure you can tell. But, not sure it's the right place for me. We'll keep you posted! Hope to hear from some of you via comments or e-mail.
