That is amazing for you! I bet you're just going to love it! I think a nursery job would be the most perfect job ever! (I got offered one a few years ago but it was too far).

I'm so excited for you! clap

That is soooooooooo exciting Mark!
Can't wait to hear about all the flowers you get to play with, and all you are learning!!! YOU BETTER come here and tell us, you hear?!? Just joking with you - have a wonderful time at your job!!!

I went to a new to me perennial nursery Sat. morning - I even asked the woman who was helping me if I could work there - she said I should call the owners, but they had a death in the family last week, so to wait a little while...

mark--I forgot to mention--My Valarie worked in a nursery of sorts. The owner just sold wholesale to the bigger nurseries in the area.

Valarie worked there her 14th, 15th, & 16th summers. She learned a lot, and you will too. I am so pleased for you. This is a great opportunity.

my dad owned a wholesale nursery for many years. I spent all my summers, spring breaks, Christmas breaks working there while i was in jr high and high school. that's probably why I still garden today... or maybe I just drank out of the blue hoses too much. (the blue hoses' were fertilizer water!) ha ha
lots of great memories there......

congratulations mark!
