Petal Picking: I love my job, not so much, I love my job, not so much...

This blog is meant to be an account of the daily events of my college internship and a floriculture educational tool. And as much as I want this to focus on the floral industry and the advantages of real world work experience that are offered through participating in an internship, I have a feeling it might become a slightly comical view into my personal life as a tree huggin', plant lovin', flower pickin', dirt diggin' horticulturist... I'll let you be the judge.

Thursday February 24th - Design Daisy (with a migraine)

No day is left uneventful...
Where: NYS Museum in Albany
Who: Me, Bill, Ron, Rudy, Mary and Steph
Why: Set up for NY in Bloom
What: 12 foot table setting for a dinner party
Disaster: Glass and water EVERYWHERE
There were over 25 Carnation arrangements and 150 pieces of glass wear on this flimsy 12' table, and over 50 gallons of water in the vases and various containers, as well as over 200 votive and tealight candles.

One second all is well and the table is completed and looks beautiful.
The next, 20 pieces of glass are broken, and at least 25 gallons of water are streaming over the floor and throughout the Metropolitan exhibit....
MIGRAINE

So we start over again.

C'est la vie
