I have left NY for the NW. My experiences there did not align with goals, nor was everything presented accurately from them in the interview. Somethings they said I would do they then told me I would not be doing, so once I finished my corn maze project I was just spending 9 hours a day water, weeding, or dead-heading for a family. Now if the place were a public garden I might have been able to continue because I believe in supporting public gardens and have greater energy when I know something is being done for everyone. So now I am home in Oregon and will be doing this and that before my trip to the East Coast with my parents.
What I learned from my 3-week internship: Communication is very important for accurate work and for happier workers. That I love design and would like to pursue it by getting a landscape architecture certificate- possibly @ PCC.
But in the time being I will post things I find inspirational for my career- whether it is articles on ecology, horticulture, permaculture, etc. I will visit gardens and post pictures of designs I like and methods I myself would like to replicate. I have been and will continue to travel the US for a while longer, and while I have my travelling shoes on I will be always on the lookout for the new (new to me @ least).
